Student Response
Students of Kamal Uddin Hall said they were not sure whether there was a bike with the number plate named (Dhaka Metro-L-636542) AFM Kamal Uddin Hall-Bike mentioned in the advertisement. However, most students took the matter as ‘fun’.
However, Touhid Siam, a candidate for the post of GS of Jaksa, said,
এটা মজা হিসেবে করলে ঠিক আছে, কিন্তু আসলেই যদি এ রকম হয় যে বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ে এসে কেউ ভোট বিক্রির প্রবণতা রাখে তাহলে সেটা দুঃখজনক।
Translation: “It’s okay if it’s done as a joke, but if it really happens that someone comes to the university and has a tendency to sell votes, then it’s sad.”
