Agitation or exploitation?
What happened in Dhaka and other places in the country could be literally considered a wildfire. A sudden outburst of fire ignited an unprecedented agitation caused by a ridiculous scuffle between certain students and army men at DU, leading to curfew. If anybody thinks it is only a student oriented protest s/he is likely to be fooled because it is nothing but a deliberate exploitation of students by the godfathers behind the scenes.
The problem could be peacefully resolved within the DU, but instead what we saw was a sudden outburst of agitation in all the public universities! Being stuck in my room, I have just one question: who provoked the students to act like this? Who was behind it? Certainly some quarters took the chance. It is quite unnatural for only students to reach such an apex of atrocity.
A fire was set and eventually political patrons added fuel to the fire that spread in a minute throughout the nation. What we have seen is totally frustrating and appalling to the education system and democracy as well. This might be a great challenge for the present caretaker government to root out the master planners who deliberately arouse the students to such an unexpected demonstration.
However, clamping curfew is the last thing that the government should consider in such a situation.
