DU teachers
M. Hashem, On e-mail
As people say rot starts from the head, in our country the same thing happened. Therefore, we must make our highest seat of education free from all evils and make it a prestigious place of learning as it was in the past. The present regime should take up this issue as a priority and make it happen by taking actions against those involved in corruption(both financial and moral) in all the universities. The nation needs to see some tangible actions being taken, for awakening the whole teachers community and also to revitalize the education sector.If these so-called teachers, who are supposed to be the conscience of the nation, get away with such eyewash, then we should release everybody arrested so far on corruption charges. ***May we ask a few questions to the Dhaka University teachers who joined the meeting to make the announcement in favour of Sheikh Hasina as well as Khaleda Zia. Why should Sheikh Hasina be released from jail unconditionally? Is it because she is the daughter of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman? Is it because she was the ex-prime minister of the country? Is it because of her own style of democracy? Do you have any legal right to put any pressure on the government to release a person facing corruption charges? Last of all, I would like to request all of you: if you don't feel comfortable when you see that your beloved leader is in trouble, please try to keep silent. Don't try to mislead the ill-fated nation. At least, we don't expect such irresponsible activities from a section of our university teachers. Enough is enough!
K.M. Shamsuzzaman, Moscow, Russia ***It is so disdainful to see DU teachers wearing black ribbons to protest against the caretaker government for their actions against the two leaders of our country. On top of that, they are inciting students to go on strike. This is nothing but supporting corruption and the corrupt. They are supposed to be educated people. Are they really teachers? Have they lost their senses? Can't they judge between right and wrong? Whoever supports evil are evil themselves.
N.G. Chaudhury, Luxembourg ***What a shame! University teachers abstaining from work to protest the arrest of a politician accused of money extortion!
