Govt awaits SC decision on quota issue Says Arafat

City Desk  :

The government cannot do anything on the quota reform issue until the Supreme Court process is totally completed, State Minister for Information and Broadcasting Mohammad Ali Arafat said on Saturday.
“Even the government cannot make any announcement in this regard now – everyone knows this,” he said, reports BSS.
The state minister was speaking at a press briefing organized at the Dhaka district Awami League office in Tejgaon on Saturday.
He said the protesters are changing their demands from time to time, noting that there are three organs of the state–Executive, Judiciary and Legislature.
“If there is no understanding of how these three organs work, confusion arises. Again and again, they are changing their demands and seeking justice from every organ of the state.”
Arafat questioned why the quota protesters “are changing their demands from time to time”.
“Those who are repeatedly changing their demands and creating public suffering in the name of the movement.
They actually don’t want reform of the quota system, they have other intentions,” he said. “There is no chance to change the High Court order by protesting on the streets.
The only way to change this is to go to the Supreme Court,” Arafat stressed, adding that the apex court ruling explicitly stated that the doors of the court are always open for them to present their views.
