Govt working to solve seven college issue: Adviser Nahid

The interim government is working relentlessly to bring a sustainable solution to the ongoing seven college issue, Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology Adviser Md Nahid Islam said today (3 February).
 
"The government is sincere enough about the educational life and institutional issues of seven colleges. We are working relentlessly to bring out a genuine solution to the problems of seven colleges," Nahid said while speaking to journalists after visiting Saraswati puja mandap at the Jagannath Hall playground of Dhaka University this morning.
 
Urging the protesting students of Titumir College to deal with the issue sensitively and sincerely, he said, people supported the students during the July uprising, when students get to the streets with reasonable demands. "Having people's support is important for any movement."

However, Nahid marked the seven-college problem and students' sufferings as results of wrong decisions made earlier, saying, "We are trying to solve the problem as soon as possible. To reach a sustainable and better solution, we are giving equal importance to each college."
 
Nahid urged Titumir College students to be patient and not to create any public suffering.

"The government is sincere and responsible for their educational life and their educational institution. All the problems cannot be solved immediately. We shall not make any attempt that will lead to public suffering," he added.
 
Earlier, the adviser greeted members of the Hindu community on the Saraswati Puja and exchanged greetings with the puja organisers, devotees, and students.
