Disorder in BCL
Against the backdrop of BCL's destructive activities which have virtually closed almost all the major educational institutions in the country, our prime minister has stepped down as the organisational chief of BCL. Following her resignation, a legitimate question arises as to why she has done so. Does she mean she has failed to control the BCL? If so, then who else can bring the BCL back on the right track? It is also possible that she has resigned being frustrated with the notorious activities of her party's student wing. But her resignation will not bring any durable solution. She and her government are responsible for restoring order in the BCL and create a congenial atmosphere in the educational institutions. Though our PM has sent a message of stern action against those BCL activists who are locked in fighting, extortion, tender manipulation and other criminal activities, this may not serve the purpose as her message of stern action is not a new one to the BCL men.
With the series of clashes within and between the student bodies, we may well ask what purpose student politics is serving. Shouldn't the major parties think seriously about banning such politics?
