A requiem
Molla Mohammad Shaheen Dept of English, DU
The macabre homicide of Professor Muhammad Yunus, a teacher of Rajshahi University, appalled us. The terrorists liquidated a progressive man. Mr Yunus was a veteran teacher of RU for many years. He was a very much liberal minded academic. He was very strong in his pro-liberation notion. He was a senior vice president of Bangladesh Economic Association and president of Rajshahi University Bangabandhu Parishad. He was very amiable and student-friendly. So his gruesome demise shocked all of us. He was the target of fundamentalists. They did not like his free thinking . This year Humayun Azad, a DU teacher, was attacked brutally and consequently he succumbed to his trauma. If the progressive luminaries of our country are attacked frequently, Bangladesh will face a catastrophe in near future. We are much concerned about this social turbulence. I hope the government will address this matter very seriously. They must bring the culprits to book to ward off further disaster .
