Students of seven colleges affiliated with Dhaka University have launched demonstrations on Sunday Morning, boycotting classes and examinations in protest against the government's refusal to form a commission for establishing a separate university for them.
They gathered around 9:45am on Dhaka College campus and were chanting different slogans, our campus correspondent reports.
A student of Dhaka College and one of the organisers of the demonstration said, "If our demand for an autonomous university is not accepted by tomorrow, we will announce tougher programme."
Earlier on Saturday, they announced programmes of boycotting of classes and exams for Sunday and Monday protesting the government's decision.
Two days ago, Shafiqul Alam, press secretary to the chief adviser, said that the seven DU-affiliated government colleges would have a dedicated unit to look after them while their affiliations with the university would remain intact.
