Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has hinted of taking tough measures to tackle the recent 'troubles' in several top educational institutions of the country, if necessary.
"We always want to solve any problem through mutual understanding, but that doesn't mean we can't be tough. We know how to be hard," she said in a meeting with the leaders of the front and affiliated organisations of the ruling Awami League at her official Ganabhaban residence on Saturday.
Terming the standoff at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) and other educational institutions as 'regrettable', she said, "The Hounarable President appoints Vice-Chancellors to different universities. But a section of teachers were waging movement over their liking or disliking."
The Prime Minister also criticised the teachers for involving students in their their agitation.
The BUET students joined agitation launched by the teachers demanding resignation of the Vice-Chancellor and Pro Vice-Chancellor. The situation created stalemate at the premier engineering university where academic activities have been hampered for months over the issue.
The Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid last week assured to accept several of their demands including removal of the Pro VC. But the students were adamant not to go back to class unless their demands were implemented.
Prime MInister bitterly criticised the students who took blood from their own body using syringe and poured it onto the stair of the BUET VC office. "How come a boy takes blood from the body of a girl and pour it onto the stairs... this is perverted mentality."
"The lesson of arrogance that you've taught the student in the name of movement would not bring any benefit for the country in the long run. Who are teaching their students this they may also face the same situation," she said.
The Prime Minister regretted as the students lost valuable time of their academic life.
Sheikh Hasina also criticised the teachers for 'changing their face' after discussion with government. "Anyone can come to us and convey their problems. We never neglect anyone. Many make promises, but do not keep it. This is really deplorable."
