DU students rally against cancellation of textbook revision committee

Some students of Dhaka University have protested the cancellation of the textbook revision committee and labeling Professor Samina Luthfa of Sociology Department of the university as ”anti-Islam”.

A protest rally organized by general students took place at the foot of the Raju Sculpture at Dhaka University on Monday.

During the rally, students voiced their concerns over labeling Professor Samina Luthfa as being “anti-Islam”.

Referring to her significant contributions to the student movement, they argued that such baseless labeling hinders efforts to create a non-discriminatory and just Bangladesh.

The protest followed the recent cancellation of a textbook revision committee by the Ministry of Education, after objections from certain religious organizations regarding two of its members.
