Unethical student politics

Samiul Raijul, Bangladesh University of Textiles, Dhaka
When PM Sheikh Hasina was asked whether she would take any step to ban student politics in Bangladesh, she categorically said that she and her government didn't have any plan to do so because she thinks student politics is the way of producing new political leaders. If student politics is stopped, there would be leadership vacuum in the country. But the question is, is ethical politics being practiced in Bangladesh by the student wings of the political parties? Especially the pro-ruling party student organisations become violent and behave condescendingly for maintaining their dominance on the campus. Vandalising, fighting, and even killing are mere child's play to them.
