Quota reform reps to present memorandum to president at Bangabhaban

Ten representatives of students and job seekers calling for the reform of the quota system in public service are heading to Bangabhaban to meet the President with a memorandum.

During this time, the rest of the students will remain on the road from the Secretariat to Zero Point, according to the leaders of the anti-discrimination student movement, local media reports.

The students began marching at noon from Dhaka University and took a stand at Zero Point around 1:10 pm. They also demanded the withdrawal of a case filed by a police officer, giving a 24-hour ultimatum and denouncing the case as ‘false and fabricated’.

Students from several educational institutions in the capital, including Dhaka University, Jagannath University, and Dhaka College, participated in the march.
