BCL and AL leaders

AL leaders are speaking their minds. One of them disowned Chattra League's wanton barbarism all over the country. Another frank and blunt leader expressed the whole truth that instead of wasting energy through infighting, the Chhatra League should take on the opposition which, he hinted, will greatly complement the government's repressive action against the people. Actually, the AL wants a Bangladesh where everybody will support whatever they do.
That day I couldn't stay in the teacher's staff room because I saw some Chhatra League leaders watching TV sitting on the sofa meant for the teachers. What's more, they did not even think it necessary to stand up in a gesture of honour.
The other day some Chhatra League leaders cornered one of their activists into the physics department and beat him mercilessly in the very presence of the teachers.
The incident left the department badly damaged but when the teachers tried to point to the real culprit to the police the culprits was ready with their blood stained hands to humiliate the teachers in the very presence of police. Only tell me, what is happening to this country?
Has the government sold its soul for some cheap pleasure of oppressing people?
