Shibir kills BCL man, cuts tendons of 4 others; 100 more injured in clash (February 10, 2010) When justice is done only to the people in power, then these things are bound to happen. In this case, the dead student belongs to the ruling party and the home minister ordered the police to arrest the killers within 24 hours. However, when Abu Bakar was killed, what we had heard and read in the newspapers was simply shocking.
Nasir The police failed to stop the violence and allowed the hooligans to enter the campus. The intelligence failure was also there. The university authorities claim that they are not the guardians of the students. I fear that there is no control of the govt over the country.
Amit Khan What is our government doing to stop campus terrorism? Both parties should be ashamed and our law enforcing agencies should be declaring war against these terrorists. This is terrorism at its worst!
Guest Is it the beginning of another civil war? How come Jamaat along with its Shibir outfit have not yet been proscribed to save democracy?
Shamin I urge all the political parties to help law & order to be restored in our educational institutions.
Manzoor Ashraf When Nomani, RU secretary of Shibir, was killed by the Chattra League, why didn't you give the same order? It might be a revenge killing. Mr. Mayor, when a Moitree activist was killed by BCL terrorists, what did you do?
Third-eye It is utterly shocking to see these pictures. The student wing of the party that collaborated with the Pakistani army is still practising the same thing that Pakistan did to us. Should they be given the opportunity to do whatever they like? I think not.
Moinak Islam What did the authorities do when a Shibir leader was killed by BCL early last year? What did they find in their inquiry report? Did they take proper steps to prevent such violence again? What happened to the Nomani killing case? Any progress towards justice? When the formal justice system fails to provide justice, the victim takes revenge.
Z I Biswas Honourable Education Minister, how much blood of our sons do you need to ban students and teachers' politics?
Farid A. Azam Students must not do politics in the educational institutions at all. When will our politicians be wise enough to deal with those problems?
Baz The person, who cut the tendon of a hand of a BCL leader named Hamid, in broad daylight at Chittagong in the mid 80s, was also able to avoid justice then.
Saleh Rahim Ahmed In the past few weeks, we are witnessing some unnatural deaths in our educational institutions. And no action is being taken against the perpetrators. Only an even-handed approach can stop the cycle of violence.
Jumana Sarwar What is the problem if we ban student politics? In the developed countries, no one will find this type of use of the university students by ruling or opposition parties. Our political parties are making each of the universities a training camp of their armed supporters.
Md. Shahidul Islam Hundreds of poor families spend their savings to send their children to university, hoping that they would return qualified; instead the parents get a dead body. Anyone caught with weapons within the university should be brought to justice.
Hossinur Rahman Political parties do not have the skill to run the country.
Zerosopher Can killing and cutting tendons of fellow students be Islamic? We demand an explanation from them.
MAS Molla Our govt should pass a law to ban student politics and should act now to create a congenial atmosphere for learning. Exemplary punishment should be given to the culprits.
Nesar Ahmed Student politics should be banned for a certain period and all the groups should be arranged in a new mould. Otherwise, more subversive activities will be seen in near future.
Sajjad Hossain Student politics of 1952, 1969 and 1971 had helped us to make our country independent, whereas the current student politics brings nothing for us but disgrace.
Rudra Pratap Deb Nath Perhaps the national psyche is reflected in the comments here. We are a divided nation and our opinion is based on our own feudal mentality and interest. To a hard-core Awami League supporter, there is a huge difference between the death of Faruk Hossain (RU) and Abu Bakar (DU). To the parents of the young boys, it is the same. They buried their dreams. Please ban student politics, once and for all.
