Government Press Note on the Incidents
Following press note was issued last night by Government:
“A section of Dacca Students have been acting, over the last few days, in a manner prejudicial to law and order culminating in some unhappy incident on Tuesday.
“The administration, which acted with utmost restraint and patience and refrained from taking any action during the earlier incidents in the hope that saner counsel will prevail, were compelled to intervene today.
“Some students absented themselves from the classes on February 4, and incited others. On February 3 they staged an unruly demonstration against a Central Minister who was invited to talk to them at Dacca University.
“This morning a number of Students of the Dacca University again abstained from attending their classes and about 500 of them gathered at the University premises. At 11 a. m. they came out in a procession shouting slogans, passing through the Curzon Hall they came out of opposite the High Court and started moving towards the Secretariat.
“They reached near the entrance gate of the High Court where they were stopped by the police. The students tried to force their way through when the police held them back.
“At this the students started pelting brickbats at the police as a result of which several policemen were injured. A mild lathe charge was then made by the police forcing the students back inside the Curzon Iall compound. During the lathicharge two persons who were in the forefront received minor injuries.
“In the melee, two policemen were dragged inside the Curzon Hall compound by the students and badly manhandled necessitating their admission into the hospital”.
