Around 60 knives, along with hockey sticks and other weapons, were used during the clash between rival CEC and 69. How can so many weapons be brought into a university hostel? Doesn’t the university administration have any responsibility to keep the campus free from weapons?
There is no need that the so-called BCL leaders and workers will keep waving weapons on the campus day after day and the university administration will remain a silent spectator. Sometimes it is difficult to differentiate between them and BCL workers due to their activities. But they should keep in mind that the university campus is a place for learning, not for firing weapons.
Despite news and photographs of BCL leaders brandishing knives being published in various media outlets, including Prothom Alo, the university administration remained silent. But their silence was broken when Education Minister Mohibul Hasan requested the Vice Chancellor of Chittagong University and law enforcement agencies to take action against the BCL leaders and activists who clashed. But the decision taken by the administration after a long meeting on Sunday is nothing but an attempt to hide the real culprits.
