Why are the coordinators silent on the Tofajjal murder of DU – The administration coordinators and related persons are keeping silent about the brutal incident that took place in Dhaka University’s Fazlul Haque Muslim Hall, where Tofazzal Hossain, a mentally unstable young man was beaten to death on suspicion of being a thief. A major reason behind this silence could be student politics and the close relationship of ministers with students.
Power of student movement and its impact
Student movement has always played an important role in the history of Bangladesh. The role of students in various important political and social changes of the country was unparalleled. Many ministers, parliamentarians and political leaders have emerged through this student movement. They have risen from student politics and are sitting in high positions of the country. As a result, many political leaders and ministers developed a special relationship with students, where students supported them and that support became crucial for their political careers.
Silence of coordinator and administration
- The silence of coordinators and administration may be the result of complex dilemmas between them.
- Many in power have maintained their position in support of the students.
- The dominant position of student political leaders makes it difficult to speak out or take action against students.
- Taking action against students can create political risk.
- Such a move could have a negative impact on their support and popularity.
Fear of negative effects
Taking a hard line against students, especially when they are members of influential student bodies, can also affect their political careers.
Political leaders know that their political future and popularity largely depend on the support of these students.
If they speak out against these students or take disciplinary action against them, they may face opposition from student organizations or political parties standing up for them. This can lead to disaster in their personal and political career.
Role of strong student bodies and ministers
If the political leaders for whom the students have agitated now take a tough stand against the students, it can directly hurt their popularity. As a result, this silence may also be a strategy to protect their own position.
way to solution
- It is important to take proper action on the part of coordinator and administration.
- Students must ignore power or political affiliation to ensure justice.
- It is essential to take right decisions based on humanity and ethics.
- If proper steps are not taken, its negative impact is bound to fall on the society.
