Arresting JMB activists
For a few days, the lead news of most of the dailies is nabbing of JMB cadres in different areas of the countries. It is a positive development. It is also a good thing to find out the dens of the militants, but it should not be limited to JMB alone, rather the drive should also be extended to other parties, especially student outfits of different political parties which are engaged in illegal activities. There are many armed goons in these student organisations.
As a student of Dhaka University, I suggest that the government find out the armed cadres of the student organisations who are creating chaos in the educational institutions and spoiling the environment of education. The government needs the terrorists' service to stay in power and the opposition needs it to grab power. As a result, nobody dares to oppose the presence of these armed cadres on the campus.
So if the government wants to arrest the armed goons; it should do so, irrespective of their political affiliations. It should not be limited to JMB alone.
