The case again came into limelight after Asif Mahtab tore pages from a textbook at a function. A video footage of the incident went viral on social media.
Amidst the ongoing debate on this issue, Brac University has issued a statement.
The university said it believes in constructive discussion, debate and exchange of ideas like other higher educational institutions. But Brack University does not support causing harm to national assets by any destructive activities. The University considers Asif Mahtab’s conduct of tearing textbook pages and asking others to do so as destructive. His conduct was unbecoming of a teacher and does not require any support.
