JU protests continue after HC reinstates quota

Students at Jahangirnagar University (JU) have demonstrated for a second consecutive day protesting against the High Court recent reinstatement of the quota system in the civil service.
They staged demonstrations by forming a human chain along the road beside Shahid Minar on the campus around 4pm on Friday.
An anthropology student, Meher Afroz Shaoli said, “The quota system primarily aims to uplift the underprivileged segments of society, including tribals, women, and marginalised communities.
“However, the extensive use of freedom fighter quotas could lead to societal divisions and increased oppression of the general population.”
An international relations student, Arif Sohel said, “We want an end to this discriminatory system. Worldwide, quotas are reserved for backward communities.
