Why is the protest happening?
For the past several days, students have been protesting against the 30 percent quota in government jobs for the children of the 1971 war fighters in Bangladesh, and the anti-quota system students are clashing with the police and the student wing of the ruling party Awami League.
The students say that the new generation of Bangladesh is suffering from unemployment. Corruption is also found in the case of government jobs. In such a situation, by allocating 30% quota for the children of freedom fighters, the rights of millions of eligible youth will be lost.
Currently, unemployment in Bangladesh is at its peak. Around 32 million youth across the country are facing unemployment in one form or another. The population of Bangladesh is estimated to be 17 crores.
The student protest turned serious when Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajid refused to meet the protesting student leaders and accept their demands. Matters worsened when he called the protesting students ‘volunteers’. The term is used for Bengalis who supported the Pakistani army in 1971.
The students protesting and struggling for their rights were very offended by the use of the term against them and demanded the government to talk to them, try to put things right and stop the student struggle in any way. Do not try to give any other color.
