Ziaul Haq went to the extreme of letting loose armed gangs on the campuses to terrorize the student community. Student unions, which once acted as a conduit between the university and the student community, stand banned. These unions provide the student community an opportunity to understand the democratic process by casting votes. The student community is a stakeholder in the educational system like the teachers and the administration. This can be done only through elected student unions.
