Addressing protesters, the BPLA leaders said, “Since the appointment of the current director, the colleges directorate’s system has not been running properly. The director is an expert in breaking the rules. The BPLA has been protesting against him for the last three weeks wherein college teachers are wearing black bands on their arms in protest.”

They said, “The department had formed a fact-finding committee, which has completed its investigation and released a report. The report proves that the BPLA’s concerns are correct and the protest is justified.”
