Government on Thursday claimed that the ongoing quota reform movement has become a ploy of BNP-Jamaat in order to destabilise the current stability and progress in the country.

"These attacks are similar to the violence that took place in 2014 committed by BNP-Jamaat, which was rejected by EU Parliament through adopting two resolutions," said Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali to diplomats in a briefing at State Guesthouse Padma.

Mahmood also expressed his disappointment at the statements issued by some members of the diplomatic corps in this regard.

Foreign Minister Ali said even after assurances from Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, a vested quarter hijacked the demonstrations and created anarchy in the campus.

The movement for ongoing 'Quota Reform' has been marred by violence and acts of terror, he said, reports UNB.

The minister also said that the anarchists attacked the house and family of the Vice Chancellor of Dhaka University.

The Foreign Minister also briefed the session about the human rights situation in Bangladesh.
