A grand reception was held in Moheshpur, Jhenaidah, for Mahfuz-ur-Rahman Lipkon, a former student of Padmapukur Government Degree College and the newly elected general secretary of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal’s Dhaka Metropolitan North unit. At the same event, the college’s new students were welcomed and prizes were given to high-achieving students. A music and dance programme followed on the same stage.
The programme went well at first, with students performing songs. At one point, however, a dance performed by young women on the stage drew mixed reactions from local people and the wider public. The performers made gestures on stage that many found indecent and offensive to watch. Students said such indecency has no place at an educational institution.
The event was organised by the Padmapukur Government Degree College unit of Chhatra Dal on the college campus on Thursday.
It was presided over by Imon Hossain, president of the college’s Chhatra Dal unit. Mahfuz-ur-Rahman Lipkon, general secretary of Dhaka Metropolitan North Chhatra Dal, attended as chief guest, and Imran Hossain, president of Jhenaidah district Chhatra Dal, was the main speaker.
Shahriar Rasel, general secretary of Jhenaidah district Chhatra Dal, and Mehedi Hasan, its organising secretary, spoke as special guests. The event was hosted by Hamim Reza, general secretary of the college’s Chhatra Dal unit.
The guests welcomed the new students with flowers and handed prizes to students who had done well in their studies and extracurricular activities.
