The students and cultural activists of Rajshahi University on Saturday continued their demonstration, demanding immediate opening of the Teachers-Students Cultural Centre.
Around 200 students, members of the Progressive Students Alliance, platform of four leftist student organisations, and Kendrya Sangskritik Jote, platform of more than 15 cultural organisations, brought out a demonstration in the morning that paraded through the main streets of the campus.
Later they gathered in front the university central library.
The cultural activists from different groups at the rally complained that they did not have any spaces to practise and hold their cultural activities.
The university authorities had more than once failed to keep their promises that they would provide them with such spaces, they alleged.
Iqbal Kabir, convener, RU unit of Biplobi Chhatra Maitry, Sujon, organising secretary, RU unit of Chhatra Front, and Jewel, member of Anushilon Natyo Dal, spoke at the programme, among others.
The demonstration was coordinated by Aupurbo Chakrabarty, general secretary, Kendrio Sanngskritik Jote.
The long-drawn-out movement for the TSCC began in the 1960s at the university. The construction work of the TSCC building, begun in 1991, has yet to be finished. The RU students commenced the present movement on June 2.
