DHAKA: The three-day national council of Bangladesh Students Union has begun on Sunday at Aparajeya Bangla on the campus of Dhaka University.

Eminent naturalist Dwijen Sharma inaugurated the 37th national council this morning.

In his inaugural speech, Sharma suggested the students to learn more and become well educated.

He further said that he hoped for a society free from exploitation. ‘If we cannot solve the exploitation in society, we will be able to save the planet.’

Moreover, the speakers at the inaugural program threatened for tougher movement at the educational institution if the government imposed VAT of 7.5 percent on the tuition fees of private universities is not withdrawn.

However, the party council will be held on September 14 and 15.

Earlier on Saturday, Bangladesh Students Union central committee president Hasan Tareque and general secretary Lucky Akhtar in a joint statement commented that conspiracy is still going on to destroy the country’s education sector.

They also asked the students to uphold the spirit of the country’s war of independence in building the nation.
