Prof. Yunus, a teacher of the economics department of Rajshahi University, was killed on 24 December, 2004 by unidentified criminals. People from all walks of life were greatly shocked to hear the news. Some other teachers of RU and Julfiker Ahmed Reza, Chairman, Department of Statistics of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University (SAU), have received death threat. Now the question arises, what is going to happen on the campuses of our universities?

A university teacher is a highly respected person as well as an asset for the nation. Nevertheless, they are being killed. Is there no law in our country? A number of renowned educationists and journalists were killed in the past but the killers have not been brought to justice. I would like to request the law enforcers to find out the killers, nab them and bring them to book for the sake of justice in society.

Otherwise, society will soon be reduced to a lawless jungle.
