Quota reform movement: A review
Nasir Ahmed :
This is Bangladesh ¾ a so-called great example of flourishing economy. Goons, the student wing of ruling party, are beating up students whoever raising their voice against injustice or misrule or discrimination. No one is spared. Quota Reform Activists are demanding reformation of present Quota system, which allows only 0’12% of population to enjoy 30% of government posts. Moreover, a section of corrupt influencial persons and officials are making business out of it.
It is astonishing that after nearly five decades of independence many people are newly getting certificates as freedom fighters. These certificate holders are the section of people who are enjoying 30% for their wads or next generation or for even the next. It has become a practice, a hereditary fact like English monarchy or permanent settlement issue.
There are other quotas as well. For the first class jobs only 44% is left for the meritorious applicants. In other jobs discrimination has become unbearable even. Corruption and malpractice are everywhere. Majority students are demanding reforms. A section of teachers and commoners are supporting this movement. Government has formed a Committee to suggest. The Prime Minister once declared that there would be no quota. Later she changed her position and added fuel to the fire. The result is what you see in the picture. Goons of her student wing are torturing innocent students in the way they like.In open spaces they are beating them up. They are torturing them with sticks or hammer or whatever they desire with. Molesting the women participants. Even threatening the teachers who are coming to save the tortured. Nobody is there to stop them.
Bangladesh has become a ‘hamocracy’, a democracy with hammer. All we need to do is to stop the goons and confirm the reform. Government must stop arresting, harassing or torturing the quota reform activists. It must show tolerance to prove that it is not autocratic. It must not allow anyone to torture others in public. At the end all we can say is that give up this hamocracy and allow people to enjoy their human rights. Tolerance must be there.
Reform must come into reality without any further delay.
