An Assistant Professor Forced to Touch Magistrates Legs

Magistrate disgraced a professor

BCS General Education Association leaders demanded punitive measures against the Executive Magistrate Ashraful Islam for disgracing the Chief Observer (Assistant Professor) of Bhandaria Government College center during the HSC examination.

They said the teachers can become angry again in any time- so that the Magistrate and Upazila Nirbahi Officer must be withdrawn before the next exam on March 23, 2015. Otherwise the teachers will observe human chain and work abstention in government colleges across the country on April 26, 2015.

BCS General Education Association President Dr. Nasreen Begum and Secretary General IK Salim Ullah Khandakar submitted a memorandum to the Cabinet Secretary, Administration Secretary, and Education Secretary demanding immediate departmental action against that reckless magistrate.

On April 9, member of education cadre Montaj Uddin was serving as the chief observer during the HSC examination for English part-1 at Bhandaria College Center. At one point, the Assistant Commissioner (Land) Ashraful Islam (in the charge of executive magistrate) enters into the exam hall by talking over cell phone.

At one point, the magistrate called the upazilla nirbahi officer Monir Hossain Howlader and police. They then forced Montaj Uddin to apologize to the magistrate publicly by touching his legs.

The secretary general of BCS General Education Association IK Salim Ullah said, "Such incident is not only shown the disrespect to the office decorum but also insulted the whole teachers' community. We have demanded an administrative action against that magistrate. Otherwise an emergency general meeting of BCS General Education Association has called on May 1, where the next program will be announced on this issue."
