Abdul Malek, the Khatib of the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque, has described the use of students in party politics as an act of “injustice and oppression”. On Saturday, he emphasised the need to shut the path that drags students into party politics.
“I will say something that may sound surprising to you,” he said in a seminar at the Krishibid Institute, reports bdnews24.com.
“Students being used in politics; this is oppression against them. Don’t political parties have student fronts? Why? It is oppression, nothing else.” Malek said Islamic parties also exploit students, including madrasa students, in many cases. “It is wrong,” he said. He added that teaching worldly science and knowledge in an “atheistic and un-Islamic way” in Muslim countries was another form of grave injustice. “That oppression must end to protect students,” he said. Malek stressed that students’ rights were being undermined in many ways, alongside those of workers, owners and people from other professions.
