Islami Chhatra Shibir (ICS) activists of Rajshahi University yesterday staged an angry demonstration on the campus and threatened to burn to death cultural activists of RU on the campus.
After the Jum'a prayers, Shibir staged a big showdown and their rally paraded different streets on the campus.
Earlier on Thursday night, Shibir activists under the banner of 'Sacheton Chhatra Samaj' went to rooms of boys' dormitories and created pressure on the general students to join a 'protest rally' with them saying that some cultural activists staged a 'drama against Prophet (SM)'.
Shibir also staged separate demonstration inside boys' residential halls and searched for progressive cultural activists and members of left political parties, creating panic among the general students.
Later, Shibir activists held a meeting at university Station Bazar where they called upon the university authorities to take stern action against the Udichi activists and Dhumketu Natya Sangsad for staging a 'drama against Prophet (SM)' on November 3.
They threatened to kill by burning 'anti-Muslim' culture activists of RU if RU authorities fail to take action against them.
Later, they brought out a large procession that paraded different streets on the campus in front of police on the night.
A group of Shibir activists distributed 'Daily Alihsan' newspaper among the residential students.
The newspaper ran a write-up announcing the Udichi and Dhumketu Natya Sangsad activists as murtad (apostate) and Anjuman Al-Baianat declared reward for those who would kill the murtads.
Cultural activists and Udichi Shilpigoshti yesterday met university Proctor Enamul Haque and demanded punishment of the Shibir activists who physically assaulted Udichi activist Hosne Ara Farzana, a third year student of the university, on Thursday.
On November 3, Dhumketu Natya Sangsad of RU staged a drama 'Mandar' on the campus protesting demolition of Lalon's sculpture near Zia International Airport in the capital.
On November 5, RU Udichi Shilpigoshti General Secretary Abu Sayem, also the RU unit president of Bangladesh Chhatra Union (BCU), filed a general dairy with Motiher police after receiving a death threat for performing the drama.
When contacted, Proctor Enamul Haque said, "We would do everything to establish a congenial educational atmosphere on the campus."

Shibir activists assault female student at RU
Islami Chhatra Shibir (ICS) activists of Rajshahi University yesterday assaulted a female student on the campus for protesting a 'Shibir-propaganda' about a drama which was staged there on November 3.
Sources said a group of Shibir activists under the banner of 'Sacheton Chhatra Samaj' went to Bengali department and called general students to join a rally with them saying that some cultural activists staged a drama against the Prophet (SM).
They assaulted Udichi activist Hosne Ara Farzana, also a 3rd year student of the department, as she protested the 'propaganda'.
Shortly after the assault, Bengali department students and Shibir activists chased each other on the campus.
Police rushed to the spot immediately and brought the situation under control.
Sources said the students along with Farzana submitted a written complaint to the Bengali department chairman describing the incident. They also submitted another complaint to university proctor Enamul Haque demanding exemplary punishment of the responsible Shibir activists.
They threatened to launch a tough movement against the university authorities if the responsible Shibir activists are not punished.
Meanwhile, RU unit Udichi Shilpigoshti held a press conference at Chhatra Union tent and strongly protested the assault on the female student.
During the press conference, victim Farzana read out a written statement where she alleged that Shibir activists were involved in a conspiracy against the progressive cultural activists on the campus.
She mentioned that Dhumketu Natya Sangsad of RU staged a drama 'Mandar' on the campus on November 3 protesting the removal of Lalon's sculpture near Zia International Airport in the capital.
Udichi activists performed the drama where there is a servant character who is always criticised by his housemaster for his fault.
She said the drama, written by Rahul Anando, has been taken from theater-based magazine 'Theaterwala'.
"In the drama, we only used the servant character but nothing else and the Shibir activists make it an illogical issue," she said.
Udichi Shilpigoshti also demanded exemplary punishment of the Shibir activists who are involved in the false propaganda against cultural activists.
On November 5, RU Udichi general secretary Abu Sayem, also the RU unit president of Bangladesh Chhatra Union (BCU), filed a general dairy (GD) with Motiher police after receiving a death threat for performing the drama.
When contacted, Proctor Enamul Haque confirmed the incident and said they have increased security of Bengali department students and cultural activists on the campus.
