Why start student politics anew in BUET and private universities?

By Redoy K

The High Court has suspended the BUET’s ban on student politics, but the students themselves oppose such politics on campus. A survey found that 98% of BUET students are against student politics, which they say promotes ragging, abuse of power, and victimization of innocent students. The ruling party’s student wing, Chhatra League, has been accused of dominating university campuses and suppressing opposing views, often resorting to violence. Experts argue that true student politics should be democratic and not serve as a tool for political parties to exert control over universities.(photo/prothoalo)
