Student politics


At the very threshold, it should be clarified that I am not against any movement of students but the way student politics is going on is totally disgusting. After the tragic demise of Shammi, Student of Psychology Department of Dhaka University, it became a common phenomenon for the general students to express grief through bringing our processions and wearing black badges. But when we see that a group of student leaders think of gaining political benefit from this. Each party-backed student wing wants to gain from this muddy water. Where is our morality and ethics? Is it the Oxford of the East? Who are studying here? Who is teaching them? Who is guiding or influencing the administration to let the student leaders create a violent situation on the campus?

Leaving books and academic materials our reputed institution's young scholars are now cordoning the main entrances of Dhaka University. Their target is to thwart BCL leaders and activists from entering the campus. For whose interest they are doing it? Will they get any benefit? Of course, not.
