Ban carrying of weapons on campus
Most students of public universities belong to middle class or lower middle class families. Their parents send them to the universities with the hope that one day they will complete their studies and take the responsibility of their family. But instead of studying, they get involved in dirty politics and political violence only for power and money.
Our government has made a law against smoking in public places. Can they make another law banning the use of any kind of weapons on the university campus? Then at least we will not have to see newspaper photos of students carrying sharp weapons and attacking each other.
From our experience we can say that only 10-15% of the students are involved in active politics but all the students have to suffer for their misdeeds. Student politics had a great contribution to our Language Movement and Liberation War. Now the time has come for the political parties to research why the students have deviated from that principle. A joint effort of the government and the university authorities is necessary to make our campuses violence-free.
