Feuding in BCL, again

The internecine conflict within Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) faction seems to surface intermittently. Earlier, when such intra-organisational clashes took a nasty turn leading to sporadic eruption of violence on different university campuses, those prompted a flurry of action among the top leadership of the ruling Awami League. Even the prime minister and Awami League president Sheikh Hasina would issue serious warnings to the student body to behave followed by expulsions at different levels of its leadership.
The directives from Sheikh Hasina would result in a temporary lull. Some probe bodies, too, were formed. Few of those came up with any concrete results and neither did those leave any impact on the behaviour of BCL.
In reality, the measures taken by the ruling party to discipline the student body basically failed to remove the root cause of the factional feuds within it that had largely to do with tender and admission business. It is worthwhile to mention here that the administrative building of the university itself and some government departments are potential sources of this tender business.
In the latest outbreak of violence at the Mohsin Hall of DU, which caused injury to around 70 students, circumstances point to that direction.
Alarmingly, in most of these turf wars within BCL, lethal weapons including firearms are being used with abandon. That should provide enough reason for the ruling Awami League not to look at BCL feuds purely from the angle of organisational discipline but beyond it reflecting on the credibility of the government. It is a serious law and order issue as well and deserves to be dealt with accordingly.
We expect that the probe body formed by the DU authority to look into the incident would be able to find out the real causes of Tuesday's campus violence and home in on the culprits behind it. At this point, we would also like to emphasise that the answer to the problem of internal feud in BCL demands more than just these measures. So, we hope that the ruling party will intervene in the matter to solve the festering issue before it deteriorates any further.
