Banning political parties


I want to thank Mr. Wahid for his views on abolishing the corrupt political parties. From the point of view of a student, the dominant parties of the past decade had only time for spitting harangues at each other and treating the misfortunes of students with unpardonable callousness. Will they compensate for the invaluable time we lost during their party processions, the fear of falling back and the sufferings when hartals coincided with exams?

Who will guarantee that the "reformed parties" will not behave the same way in the future?

The elected political parties will certainly bail out their corrupt members. They are incorrigible and must take the full blame for what has happened. Forgive me if I am going too far.
