B. M. Saiful Islam, and the subsequent appointment of a Jamaat-affiliated teacher as Director of Student Affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The former student leaders stated that during the Awami \u201cfascist\u201d regime, Dr. A. B. M. Saiful Islam was among the most politically victimized individuals at PSTU. They accused the administration of undermining him and violating regulations by favoring a Jamaat-linked teacher instead.<br>They further alleged that attempts to \u201cJamaatize\u201d the administration have been increasing in recent times. Although the university has been declared free from political activities, they claimed that covert Jamaat-Shibir politics is being promoted with both direct and indirect support from the administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The leaders warned that if this trend continues, they will submit a memorandum to the Ministry of Education and the University Grants Commission (UGC).<br>The protest statement was signed by over one hundred former leaders of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party\u2019s student wing (Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal) from PSTU.
