The alliance, ‘Progotoshil Chhatra Jote’ will also hold a rally on Jan 26 on the Dhaka University campus.

The announcements came on Wednesday at media briefing on the campus.

On Tuesday, activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League or BCL beat up students who besieged the vice-chancellor in his office in protest against a previous assault on them by BCL.

BCL is the student affiliate of the ruling Awami League.
