Action against BCL boys not justified

Says SUST?Prof Zafar Iqbal

Prof Dr Muhammad Zafar Iqbal yesterday said it is not justified to take disciplinary actions against leaders of Bangladesh Chhatra League in connection with the assault of seven teachers of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) in an attack yesterday, reports UNB.
Prof Zafar Iqbal, also a popular science fiction writer, came up with the remarks as three alleged leaders of BCL’s university unit were suspended by its central committee, and four alleged leaders suspended by the SUST authorities in connection with the incident yesterday.
“Who’ve assaulted the teachers? The boys of Chhatra League? No. These are students, our students. They’re still very young and immature. You can mould them in whatever way you want to,” he said.
“When I learnt that three…and four more…were suspended (three suspended by BCL, four suspended by the SUST authorities), I literally feel pity for them,” he continued.
Zafar Iqbal also noted that steps should be taken against those who have ‘misguided’ the students of such tender age.
“Those who’ve misguided and sent these tender students are now feeling insecure themselves… to punish these Chhatra League boys is unjustified in a sense. Punish those who’ve sent them,” he said.
