Students of the seven government colleges (Dhaka College, Begum Badrunnesa Government Girls' College, Eden Mohila College, Government Bangla College, Government Shaheed Suhrawardy College, Government Titumir College and Kabi Nazrul Government College) affiliated with Dhaka University have issued a four-hour ultimatum demanding the implementation of six-point demands, including the establishment of an independent university separate from Dhaka University. "If our demands are not met by 4:00 p.m., we will announce a tougher course of action," Sajib Uddin, secretary general of Students Against Discrimination at Dhaka College, made the announcement at a press briefing on the Dhaka College campus in the noon.
The other demands include an official apology from the Dhaka University authorities for the clashes between Dhaka University and seven college students, as well as the resignation of Pro-Vice Chancellor Mamun Ahmed.
They have also called for a departmental investigation into the "assault" on Dhaka College student Rakib by police last night and demanded action against the assistant commissioner and officer-in-charge of New Market Police Station.
Additionally, the students are seeking measures against Dhaka University students, who made inappropriate comments and gestures towards female students of Eden College during the clashes.
They have urged for a complete severance of academic and administrative ties with Dhaka University, along with a formal declaration to establish an independent university for the seven colleges.
The students have also demanded the resolution of the issue through a high-level meeting and the reopening of the City Corporation road on Dhaka University's campus to the public.
