BCL issue

Azad Miah, Oldham, UK
I totally disagree with the editorial of January 19. The editorial calls for “applying brake on BCL excesses”. Why only apply brake? Why not get rid of them completely? Can anyone from Bangladesh tell me what benefit do the people of Bangladesh get from these different student wings of our political parties, mainly the AL, the BNP and the JP? Why should any political party have any presence whatsoever in our country's educational institutions? What for?
