Yet another act of violence on campus
I was deeply shocked to learn about the brutal attack on Ducsu VP Nurul Haque Nur along with 27 of his supporters. It was carried out by the activists of a faction of Muktijuddho Moncho, which is basically comprised of Chhatra League activists. The intensity of the attack was such that it reportedly left one victim fighting for his life and several others hospitalised. Prior to this, Nur and his supporters were attacked by BCL men on other occasions as well.
Following the horrific murder of Abrar Fahad at Buet, one would have expected that such violence and criminal conduct would cease to exist, at least in our educational institutions. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case. This must end, however. We must nurture values of mutual respect, tolerance and plurality of opinion, taking into consideration the true essence of student activism while keeping our campuses free from violence.
