If the punishment was solely to discipline then it wouldn't be this heavy to begin with or they wouldn't had to retract some of it. It was emotionally driven and unanimous (in Papon's word - anonymous - watch the video). Why emotion is involved? Because it has connection to politicking the entire BCB committee. Them harassing happy VIP men parents have multiple ties to the Board, Papon, and Bangladesh Parliament.
You missed the point completely. Shakib made something wrong, and therefore has been punished. If anyone claims that his punishment is political, it is his duty to prove that.

You are right that we can only assume about his political orientation. And for this simple reason no one should mention politics as a reason of his punishment.

However, you may claim that Shakib is completely innocent and therefore, he does not deserve any punishment. That would make your stance clear. Why emotion is involved, why not this or that was done, whether it is politically motivated or not - these are meaningless talks.

You may hate Papon and the BCB for your own personal opinion and mental satisfaction but you should not support indiscipline of the players for the sake of the team and the player himself.
