Students of several departments of Jahangirnagar University have boycotted classes and exams protesting at the recent attacks across the country on the quota protesters, reports UNB.

Five of the departments - Botany, Anthropology, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry - formed human chains along different locations of the campus around 11:00am on Wednesday and declared they were boycotting classes as well as exams for an indefinite period seeking immediate release of all the leaders of the movement who are in jail.

At the latest development, all batches of seven departments - Philosophy, Government and Politics, Accounting and Information, Zoology, Physics, Finance and Banking, and History - boycotted their classes while several batches of eight other departments boycotted their classes and examinations in the same ground.

Earlier on Tuesday, Philosophy department students staged a sit-in programme in front of their department and boycotted their classes demanding release of all quota reform leaders under the banner of fair and logical reformation of quota system.
