UNB, Sylhet:

Students of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST), Sylhet on Thursday declared Tapashee Tabassum Urmi, a suspended assistant commissioner of Lalmonirhat administration and also former student of the SUST, unwanted and banned for life on the campus.

They also demanded that the certificates of Urmi be cancelled, said a media release issued on Thursday.

She came to the limelight for her controversial remarks regarding the interim government and Abu Sayed who was killed during the July movement.

According to the release, Urmi denied the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement through her various misleading posts on Facebook, including describing martyr Abu Sayed as a terrorist.

She also said the July-August genocide is a subject to investigation.

Her critics say she should be brought under the law and tried immediately. Denial of the July Revolution and derogatory remarks about the martyrs and sedition should be punished severely.

Earlier, on October 9, a defamation and treason case was filed against Urmi in Lalmonirhat by Tahiatul Habib Mridul, a representative of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement.

On October 7, she was suspended following her controversial remark regarding the interim government on Facebook.

The previous day, she was made Officer on-Special Duty (OSD) and was attached to the Ministry of Public Administration.

In a Facebook post, Urmi wrote, “The chief adviser of the interim government which has no constitutional base said a push has been made on the reset button, history got erased. He has removed all histories of the county by clicking the reset button. Is it too easy! your (Yunus) countdown has started, Sir.”
