Abdication of responsibility
In the ninth parliamentary election, Awami League President Sheikh Hasina declared 'Charter for Change' as her election manifesto in order to build up a progressive, developed 'Digital Bangladesh'. The triumph of the Awami League with an unpredictably overwhelming majority apparently reflected the people's wishes and expectations. The violent activities of Bangladesh Chhatra League, the student wing of the Awami League, has, however, created a reign of terror in different educational institutions which has within three months, resulted in the deaths of two students, injury to about thousand and the closure of thirty educational institutions for an indefinite period of time. The violent activities of the Chhatra League on the campuses of different educational institutions; repeated internecine brawls, tender businesses, rehearsal with arms and firearms in the dormitories for supremacy and hall occupation, have raised numerous questions in the people's minds, and further raised the concern of the guardians and made the whole situation bleak. Consequently, Sheikh Hasina stepped down from the position of BCL's organisational head. The retreat of Sheikh Hasina from the organizational responsibility of the Chhatra League has put it in uncertainty. The guardian-less Chhatra League may consequently become much more reckless, unbridled and arrogant. Through reforming the organisational structure, developing qualitative leadership by council, setting up committees of different educational institutions, the Hasina led government can bring back stability and peace to the educational institutions.
