Acting president of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) Al Nahean Khan Joy on Sunday said stern action would be taken if any BCL activists are found to be involved in extortion or tender manipulation, reports UNB. 


He said this while speaking at a press briefing at Madhur Canteen of Dhaka University.

Speaking at the press briefing, BCL acting general secretary Lekhak Bhattacharjee said, "The big challenge we're going to face is to form committees and arrange the next council within the next 10 months."

He said they want to make the student organisation free from all controversies and operate it as per the instruction of prime minister Sheikh Hasina.

Lekhak further said, "We'll make BCL united under a single platform. There'll be no culture of one-man politics. We'll try to strength the hands of Sheikh Hasina."

On 14 September, Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) president Rezwanul Haque Chowdhury Shovon and general secretary Golam Rabbani were removed from their respective posts amid various controversies.

Later, No 1 vice-president Al Nahean Khan Joy and No 1 joint secretary Lekhak Bhattacharjee were given the charge of acting BCL president and acting general secretary respectively.
