Assassination of Prof. Aftab
Mallik Akram Hossain, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Former vice-chancellor of the National University (NU) Prof. Aftab Ahmed died after struggling for life since assailants shot him in his residence on Saturday last. During the rule of four-party alliance, four university professors have been killed. The killers have not been identified, or if identified not tried. We have witnessed how a suspected killer in Prof. Taher murder case who belongs to a four-party student faction has been given shelter. No attempts have been made to identify the killers in other murder cases. A teacher, be it school, college or university, is regarded as a highly respected person in the society. With the passage of time, the dignity of teachers has eroded due to various factors. The assassination of our university teachers, I think, is the result of ugly politics. We have to get rid of this game. Otherwise, many more, like Prof. Aftab, will be victimised.
