Decimate student politics
No doubt, student politics is a nuisance for us at present. It is a threat for the smooth progress of Bangladesh. Most of the educational institutions of Bangladesh are vulnerable to this epidemic. The recent decision of our PM Sheikh Hasina to jettison the responsibility of overseeing BCL has perplexed all of us. By quitting the post of the organizational head of the BCL, she has tried to eschew the liability. Actually, she should be more progressive and forward-looking in taking decisions about student politics. We know about the bright credentials of student politics and the people of Bangladesh are thankful for its contribution to the Language Movement and the Liberation War. I was proud of being a resident student of Zahurul Huq Hall of DU, as this hall produced many student leaders like ASM Abdur Rab and Tofael Ahmed. We know that bright students do not join politics any more. Some hooligans use the banner of student politics, that is a win-win situation for both these so-called student leaders and the political parties. Political leaders use these student activists for their personal gains. I am not against student politics. But student politics must be for the students, by the students and of the students. The existing student politics is hindering the normal functioning of the educational institutions. The general students are the victims of this social malady. So, I urge our Honourable PM to rethink about student politics. Please ban student politics by promulgating new laws for the greater benefit of the nation. You know what BCL activists are doing across the country. Are they enhancing the party image? Do they have any contribution to your landslide victory? Will they ensure your next triumph? Do you think that they are really students? They may be, but they are diseased and perverted.
So, please reform student politics.
