A controversy has erupted in Feni after district council administrator and local BNP leader Professor M A Khalek allegedly received a ‘VIP protocol’ and ‘guard of honor’ from school students. The incident took place on Thursday during the annual sports competition at Motobi Adarsha High School in Feni Sadar upazila. Witnesses said students lined up to welcome him with flowers and red ribbons in a military-style formation, a gesture usually reserved for heads of state or war heroes.
The event drew sharp criticism on social media and among locals, who questioned the appropriateness of using students for such displays. Many argued that even the prime minister does not accept such protocols, calling the practice undesirable and urging an end to it. Professor Khalek said he did not personally request the arrangement, claiming the school authorities acted out of enthusiasm. Acting head teacher Monindra Kumar Nath said the arrangement followed previous practice but did not clarify the official protocol rules.
The school, with 260 students, reportedly spent about 50,000 taka on the event. Locals linked the incident to political influence and excessive flattery within educational institutions.
