AL intra-party feud killing

That a Jubo League activist can be hacked to death in broad daylight, and that too inside a school, makes us squirm about how fickle life is for the rest of us. From what has been reported in this paper, we understand that the victim belonged to a faction of the Jubo League and was holding a meeting at the head teacher's room when members of a rival faction attacked with deadly intent. Apparently, the deceased once belonged to the faction that attacked and killed him. Why are the ruling party activists killing one another over party positions, that too on the premises of a school? And this is not the first incident of intra-party feuds of Awami League that has cost lives.

These so-called party activists are least bothered about law enforcers because they believe themselves to be above the law. We find it abominable that such incidents have now become routine in our society. The utter disregard for the safety of others comes from the belief that such conduct will go unpunished. We have iterated this in the past and must do so again. Unless the ruling party can put an end to intra-party rivalries, there will be no end to these killings which ultimately reflect badly on the government's image and threaten public safety.
