Yes. I agree that neither of the statement is strong.

We cannot consider the political atmosphere that the formation of student union creates, as the purpose for forming it is totally different that is to address the various problems of college students.

Also, it may be necessary but certainly not "VERY NECESSARY" as it is mentioned in the second statement.

I think both statements are not strong as the aim for student union is to help fight problems faced by students at college or university level and not to develop them into political leaders.

Yes Avinash, even i am of the same opinion....

Not all students will choose politics as their career alternative. So second statement ". Very necessary students are future political leaders. " does not seem strong. Please discuss.
