Patna University students insist for elections and

not selections for student Union. Amusingly,
students demand for democracy using
undemocratic and unparliamentary means. By
attacking the policemen they show their disrespect
for the law.

over-speech which has generated the real crisis, specially in the case
of Patna University. Frequent news of stone-pelting and collar grabbing has brought much defame to current crop of young
politicians. The immediate requirement of integrity and the ability to lead and control the crowd seems missing in the ringleaders.

Recent resignation of Patna University Pro-VC Prof S I Ahson and its subsequent rejection by Hon'ble Chancellor is considered as a
strong signal that the government is also adamant that the system should arise from anarchy. The violent protests inside campus
shows deteriorating mind-set of the leaders to achieve the goal. The media is also equally to blame for not criticising the methods
adapted.

There should not be any option to abolish students participation in politics as we do need our tomorrow's leaders. Obviously,
reforming student politics is the immediate need but the methods employed should not disconnect the process of democracy. What
could be a gentle way to bring harmony between students and authorities? A direct way of communication between authorities and Alok Ranjeet K Anand
students should be devised which will enable a transparent interaction and altogether bring respect for each other. The dominating
criminal elements in the universities are the nuisance and default winners in absence of archetypes. The logical way to reduce the
probability of anarchist in politics is by increasing the participation of progressive thinkers and positive reformers. At the same
moment, there should be strong protocols to prohibit warmongers from running for offices and initiatives should be taken by the Manoj Amit Jitendra

students themselves. The authoritative approach to kickout the firebrands is also not a welcome step. In my opinion, bar the radicals
from student politics but not from the studies.

Isn't it a fallacy in the name of students participation in the University politics? The students that were a crucial segment of the
freedom struggle do not have any other significant way to express their anger, rather frustration. They are so inaudible that they
have to protest, that too violently and frequently. Specially in case of Patna University, Ashok Raj Path traffic has become regular
scapegoat of the students' ire. The policemen who are needed elsewhere are deployed to baton charge protesting students. Why this
has to be so regular? Elections for the next state government are approaching and does it give a glimpse of turbulent return to
anarchy?
