For a Politically Violence-Free Educational Institutions

 

"No bone here, don't put pressure"- such a tragic scene will shock anyone. Recently, Mahadi Akib, a meritorious student of Chittagong Medical College, has been the victim of a tragic attack by an opponent group of the same political party. Although Akib did not understand politics or did not want to get involved in politics, he got stuck in the grip of violent politics. His place is now in the hospital's intensive care unit (ICU). Wrap up all his head with bandages and written here-- 'No bone here, don't put pressure.' A dangerous sign is also drawn below.  Doctors said the head was hit in such a tragic way that part of the bone was removed during the surgery and is currently placed under the skin of his abdomen. If the condition improves, the bone will be replaced. That's why, cautionary remarks have been made about the bandage.

Become a victim of violent politics, a meritorious soul is now on the verge of death. Healthy politics is good for the country and the nation but violent politics is a big obstacle in the way of overall development of a country and a nation. Nowadays, the student politics of our country is no politics at all. But once, it had a good reputation. From the language movement to the movement of the 1990's, students played a vital role. But since then, the form of student politics has deteriorated to such an extent that we see violence in almost every educational campus. The young generation is an important human resource of a state. The overall progress of a state depends on the healthy mentality, care and proper upbringing of this young generation.

Meritorious people are a blessing for a state.  But when being talented there becomes a curse for oneself and one's family, it remains to be understood which way the future of the state is heading. The recent events are a great example for us. Meritorious students are being attacked here for fulfilling their dreams in the prestigious educational institutions of the country and for being a matter of pride for the country and the nation. Then the state loses its future great heroes and leaders.  Being born 'meritorious' has now become a birthright sin in many cases here.

Most of the students from different parts of the country have to conduct educational activities from staying the halls. But it can be seen that many students are trapped in the grip of violent students politics while staying in the hall. Let the security of the students be ensured in the educational institutions, let every educational institution of the country be free from violent politics. No mother's chest should be empty anymore. Let the state take proper care of its future heroes and leaders. And it is also the sacred responsibility of the state.  We don't want to see such a tragic scene like Mahadi Akib, a meritorious student of Chittagong Medical College, a victim of the wrath of violent politics.
