'Bangla Blockade' to continue, say students

Despite the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court issued a status quo on the High Court judgement over quota system, the protesting students vowed not to return to classrooms.

Students and job seekers who are protesting the reinstatement of the quota system in government jobs said they would stay on the roads until the government forms a commission regarding the reform of the quota system.

On behalf of the students, Hasnat Abdullah, one of the coordinators of the movement, said that they would continue their movement until the government forms a commission to reform the quota system.

Students of different public universities and colleges and jobseekers have been demonstrating for the last seven days demanding reinstatement of a 2018 circular that abolished the quota system in government jobs.
