The Leader of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission Ghana, Alhaji Maulvi Muhammed Bin Salih, is calling for the dissolution of all political youth wings in the country's educational institutions as a measure of fighting indiscipline in the country.

He says such groupings are most often the breeding places for political indiscipline in the country.
Speaking on the theme: "Discipline, a tool for national development," as part of the 83rd Annual National Convention of the Ahmadiyya Mission at Pomadze in the Central Region, the Muslim leader said he was incensed by the level of insults by political agents, especially on radio.
Penchant
He said the penchant of young political agents to wash down self-respecting citizens was alien to the Ghanaian culture.
Alhaji Bin Salih was quick to link such "reprehensible attitudes" to the kind of training these individuals had during their days as members of political youth groups such as TEIN, TESCON, and TESCHART.
Even more crucial, he insisted, was the need to do away with what he called the politically motivated mercenary groupings such as the AZORKA boys of the National Democratic Congress and the Bamba boys of the New Patriotic Party.
Unconstitutional
He said the country needed to learn lessons from such unconstitutional groupings, adding that these groupings could turn out worse than they already were.
He said if such groups were allowed to fester, they were likely to turn their venom on the same people who created them.

Touching on other forms of indiscipline in the country, the Muslim leader said the causes of indiscipline in the country were "greed and selfishness."
"Why should Ghana be cited for indiscipline when it has some of the best brains and morally upright persons?" he questioned.
Alhaji Bin Salih stated that the country must have "positive thinkers and progressive planners" and live "as though our lifespan ends in 2015.”
