The clash underneath
The implicit facts of the violence that broke out in Bangladesh remained almost untold. On the surface, it appeared to be a student movement demanding a reduction in the quota for the children and grandchildren of freedom fighters. I am not repeating the facts about how the students started their protest and began demonstrating across the country. It is also true that during the protest, a large part of the country’s population primarily supported the students' cause. Even some ruling party members sympathized with the protesting students. In the first days of the protest, ruling party leaders reiterated that the decision was pending and that it was now up to the court. But it was obvious to the students that a satisfactory result would not come for them. So, they continued their protest on the streets, insisting that the executive branch should take the decision to reduce the quota. The protesters continued their blockade and obstruction.
