Awami League presidium member Obaidul Quader has asked the councillors of Bangladesh Chhatra League not to elect those who have already earned bad image to the new committee.
Obaidul, former president of the Chhatra League, made the remarks at the inaugural session of the two-day 27th central council of the BCL at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre on Sunday.
He said Chhatra League could not suffer for few tender manipulators, hooligans and cheats.
Obaidul said the new leadership of Chhatra League would have to be educated, talented, brave and honest.
He blamed the absence of student unions in educational institutions for present leadership crisis in students' organisations.
'When a student leader would think of his acceptability among general students and when he/she would compete for the leadership, it would be difficult for them to get involved in any evil act,' Obaidul said.
He also urged the opposition party to help the government root out militancy and communalism from the country.
Obaidul said the liberation war of 1971 was a glory of every citizen of Bangladesh. 'Let us work together to uphold the glory,' he requested the opposition party.
Awami League general secretary Syed Ashraful Islam, prime minister's son Sajeeb Ahmed Wazed, outgoing BCL president Mahmud Hasan Ripon and general secretary Mahfuzul Haider Chowdhury Rotan also spoke on the occasion.
Ashraf said Bangladesh Chhatra League had not only produced heroes, but also betrayers.
He said Chhatra League had contributed to the nation's democratic movements as well as played important role in leading the affairs of the state.
Ashraf also praised the student community's role during the political crisis under the last army-backed caretaker government.
Sajeeb Ahmed Wazed said today's BCL leaders were the future leaders of the nation.
He wished successful council to elect new BCL leaders.
Earlier, the Awami League president prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, inaugurated the council.
