Need for assessment of current student politics
Sunday, 5 April 2009
AFTER all these incidents, does the Prime Minister still think that the followers of the student wing of her party are inspired by the noble ideas of the language martyrs of 1952? This thinking is devoid of realism in the current context of Bangladesh. Indeed, most politically-oriented student groups in Bangladesh today, are far far away from the idealistic youth, who roamed on the same campuses in the fifties, sixties and seventies. Are they then deserving successors of their predecessors, who used to be motivated by nobler ideas?
It is time for all concerned to go for a realistic assessment of current student politics. It is almost completely rotten to the core. There is now a growing opinion in the country about not allowing such ignoble activities in the name of student politics. In the interest of maintaining a proper academic environment on the campuses and in the interest of the nation let the Prime Minister and all others respond positively to such views.
