Leaders and teachers
It is an addition of another page to the tragic as well as shameful chapter of the history of Bangladesh being written, a cause of no pride and joy to us, Bangladeshis, both native and expatriates. Those eminent teachers entrusted with the responsibility of shaping the minds of the future leaders of the nation are within their rights to show their indignation. But their choice of leaders, for whose cause they are taking a stand, cannot be condoned. Those two ladies have failed to serve the nation, an opinion that needs no explanation.
By any standard they (two ladies) are in a way qualified to lead a nation. Their claims to leadership, claims that they themselves have forfeited due to their abject lack of qualities as leaders, stem from their relations to past leaders. The present political situation in the country, intolerable as it is, is the product of the inaptitude and stubbornness of them. Those professors, instead of being the brain trusts of the nation, were themselves engaged in partisan politics influenced by political ideals.
