NN Online Report:
Over 320 students were injured across the country in attacks on quota protesters allegedly by Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) on Monday, according to hospital doctors, university medical officers and protesters.
This number, however, varies according to different sources.
Attacks by BCL have also been reported on other university campuses across the country.
Students protesting for the reform of the quota system in government jobs gathered at Raju Memorial Sculpture for their scheduled demonstration to press forth their one-point demand and call for the retraction of the Prime Minister’s recent remarks on the issue.
Claiming that the Prime Minister’s comments were insulting, agitating students, including on the Dhaka University campus, announced a fresh protest today at 12pm after they demonstrated for around two hours last night. Later, the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement confirmed today’s protest schedule at the Raju Memorial Sculpture on the Dhaka University campus through a digital poster.
