Give them due honour

I am really astounded reading the article titled "Politics stops DU to honour Professors " in the May 27 issue of The Daily Star. It is a great shame for our country that because of depraved politics DU would not award its prominent professors the highest post of honour 'Emeritus Professor ' after the year 1982. We all know teaching is a noble profession. As teachers are the builders of the nation, so they deserve the greatest respect of the people. They deserve the highest honour. But politics stands in their way!
