In the annual senate session, Three Educationists proposed to cancel Former IGP Benazir’ PHD Degree on June 26 at Nawab Nawab Ali Chowdhury Senate Bhaban, Dhaka University.
In the session, Prof. ASM Maksud Kamal presided over while Treasurer Mamtaz Uddin Ahmed announced the annual Budget.
In that time, Senate members Ranjit Kumar Saha, Advisory member of the Bangladesh Teachers' Association, Prof Dr. Wahiduzzaman, Former Vice chancellor of Noakhali Science and Technology University and Prof Dr. ABM Obaidul Islam proposed the cancellation of the degree at the annual senate session.
It should be mentioned that Benazir Ahmed received her doctorate from the Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) program of the university's Faculty of Business Education in 2019.
Ranjit Kumar Saha said that a bachelor's degree is required for admission there. Students must score at least 50% marks in all public examinations. But Benazir Ahmed didn’t have this. He was given admission by relaxing the conditions.
Professor ABM Obaidul Islam said,“I came to know through the newspaper that Benazir Ahmed did not have the eligibility for admission to Dhaka University, yet he got the degree.We feel proud of the admission process of Dhaka University. Because, I believe that there is no minimum manipulation, nepotism or injustice in the admission process, whichever party, whichever opinion comes. “But in the case of Benazir Ahmed, despite not being qualified as candidate, the admission process has been relaxed foe him. Besides, Benazir Ahmed was not qualified according to the SSC, HSC and Higher Secondary results”, he stated. In this regard, Dhaka University Vice-Chancellor (VC) Prof. ASM Maksud Kamal didn’t speak anything.
