Campus violence


Campus violence is a common affair in Bangladesh. There is hardly any educated man who is not acquainted with the term campus violence. All the colleges and universities have become the place of practising politics. If that, they learn politics more than knowledge from their institution. But the students should not be blamed as the government and opposition political leaders lead them. It is a matter of great regret that, there is a complete anarchy even in the renowned Dhaka University, which was called the Oxford of the East. For example, we can point out here the recent incident at Dhaka University of 31st May. On this day the Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) attacked the general students to the Institute of Fine Arts. Many students were hurt and some were admitted at the different clinics of the city.

The tragic death of Shammi, a student of Psychology Department of Dhaka University, has become a common woe for the general students. But student leaders are trying to gain politically from this. Campus violence not only ruins the academic environment but also spoils the life of the students and takes away many valuable lives. Due to this campus violence, we have already lost many brilliant students like Sony (BUET).

So government should be very much concerned free the campus of violence for the betterment of the nation.
