Disowning BCL

Md. Taherul Islam, M.S.S, Institute of Social Welfare & Research, University of Dhaka
The BCL is the oldest student organisation in this sub-continent. It has a long and glorious history that gives this organisation an exclusivity. The BCL emerged in 1948 before the emergence of Bangladesh Awami League. In fact, most of the prominent politicians in the AL had a long involvement with the BCL. Their political school was BCL. It is so painful to hear that they feel shy with the present activities of the BCL. Some of them even said that the government was not responsible for its offensive activities. After the AL's coming to power, the BCL is becoming desperate. Now everyone is blaming student politics. Some are suggesting dissolution of BCL's activities. It will never be a solution. I am requesting the veteran politicians of the AL to take some stern steps for sustaining BCL's glorious history. Otherwise, everything will go in vain.
