Ban student politics
Clashes among student groups are becoming front page news in the national dailies. We observe that clash between activists of two political parties are more ferocious than that of two factions of a same party. Some days ago such a clash between two factions of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) took place at Dhaka University over establishing supremacy at the dormitory that left 50 hurt. In the past, many promising students were killed and injured in these types of clashes. These sorts of incidents mostly occurred between pro-BNP and pro-AL activists. Even over a trivial matter, the activists used to entangle themselves in the fierce clash using illegal arms.
We admit that our students achieved historical glories in the past. We also admit that students are the future statesmen of the country. So, now the time has come to ban student politics for at least ten years to restore the proper environment in the educational institutions.
