DU says VC's remarks on DUCSU election misquoted
The Dhaka University (DU) administration has criticised certain media outlets for misrepresenting Vice-Chancellor Professor Niaz Ahmad Khan's remarks on the upcoming DUCSU election, calling the coverage misleading and confusing for the public.
A press release issued by the DU Public Relations Office this afternoon clarified that the VC's statement had been misrepresented.
The statement followed reports suggesting that the VC had threatened to resign if the DUCSU polls encountered obstacles.

Responding to a media query after a discussion at the Teacher-Student Centre (TSC) auditorium on the occasion of DU Black Day, the VC said that organising DUCSU is a challenging but nationally significant responsibility requiring collective effort.
"This process will continue as long as all stakeholders cooperate. If cooperation is withdrawn, I will clearly inform everyone where the obstacles lie," Professor Khan said.
Some media outlets misquoted this as 'DU VC threatened to resign and clarify the matters to the public if DUCSU polls face obstruction.' The University clarified that the VC made no such statement regarding resignation.
In his speech, Professor Khan assured that the DU administration would continue to provide maximum support to the Election Commission and regularly update the media on the process.
