PM flays Buet agitators

Staff Correspondent
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday severely condemned a section of Buet teachers and students over their "perverted” protest and warned them not to repeat such incidents on the campus.
"What a disgusting kind of agitation! A boy collected blood from a girl's body and poured it on the floor. I don't understand how such a perverted idea came to their minds and what examples the teachers are setting," said Hasina while addressing a joint meeting at the Gono Bhaban.
The meeting was organised to exchange views with the newly elected leaders of seven organisations associated with the ruling Awami league, including Mohila League, Krishak League, Jubo League, Tanti League and Bangladesh Chhatra League. Referring to the unrest at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (Buet), the premier said her government wanted to solve all sorts of problems in educational institutions through discussions.
But, she added, it also knew how to be strict. “No one has the right to destroy the academic life of a student."
Hasina, also the ruling Awami League president, said the teachers could have informed the government if there was any problem.
“It wasn't as if we ignored their problems. They [Buet teachers] even met me, but did not keep their word when they returned to the campus,” said a visibly disappointed Hasina.
Expressing grave concern, the prime minister said she wondered who would “look into the fact that the lives of thousands of students were being spoiled due to the agitation of a few teachers and students”.
“We don't want to be harsh. We want a peaceful atmosphere and quality education in every educational institution. But what kind of examples are they [Buet teachers] setting?They are humiliating their colleagues. Is there any guarantee that someday they themselves will not be humiliated?" Hasina asked.
She went on: "The president is the chancellor of the universities and he decides who will become vice-chancellor (VC)." In Buet's case, a few teachers had staged demonstrations in the middle of the night and some students joined them later, she added.
“On a particular midnight, they seized the VC's office and pulled down his portrait. Why did they have to stage this sort of agitation, one that has no logic? Why' are the teachers leading the students to such a path? Do they not know that these students might go against them as well and also assault them?"
The prime minister hoped that teachers would be conscious so that a student's life was not destroyed.
Referring to the teachers' protest at Jahangirnagar University to remove VC Prof Shariff Enamul Kabir, Hasina said the teacher, against whom other teachers had waged a movement, polled the highest number of votes at the VC panel election.
"Now, should they [the teachers who protested] not be ashamed of their agitation?” she asked.
Turning to the opposition demand for restoring the caretaker government system, Hasina said, "The caretaker government of 1/11 affected us all - from politicians to journalists. The ghost of 1 /11 is still there and we all should be vigilant so that such a system cannot return."
