"It's up to them," she said while replying to a question at Chandpur Circuit House. She said universities operating under the 1973 Ordinance will decide according to that ordinance, while rest of the universities that run under their own set of laws will decide accordingly. Dipu Moni said the abuse of power and bad politics played roles in the recent incident at Buet. If the students, guardians and teachers at Buet had taken an initiative against this culture before, then the incident (Abrar killing) might not have happened," Dipu Moni said.
