At least six students have been killed and over a hundred injured in protests calling for an end to civil service job quotas in Bangladesh. The violence in the capital Dhaka on July 16, 2024, was the latest flare-up in a deepening conflict over the issue. Hundreds of university students demonstrated against the local government job allocation system, which currently favours children of pro-government groups who back Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Thousands have taken part in protests in several cities since July 7.

We (Bangladeshi) students are currently peacefully protesting against quota, but Student League an organization of the government ambushed us.Nearly two hundred people were injured and many were killed in the attack. At this time we need you very much because the journalists of our country are on the side of the government.They have no news on this issue.They have not promoting about on this issue.Seeking freedom has now become a crime for us.

Only 56% quota is in BCS exam but 82% in railway jobs and up to 96% in primary teacher recruitment. The barrier of patience has been broken, so there is no alternative to movement.

[anamulhoque]

56% of govt. jobs are reserved for only less than 1 percent people

Born in Bangladesh is a bad luck. Because this is not our father’s country, it’s only prime minister’s father’s country.

ঢাকা বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ে চলছে ইতিহাসের সবচেয়ে দীর্ঘতম কালোরাত।

ইন্টারনেট বন্ধ, সাংবাদিক দের প্রবেশ বন্ধ, বিদ্যুৎ বন্ধ।

[FahadAlNaserNirob]

Let me explain from the root:
According to the census of population of 2022, Bangladesh's population was 165, 158, 616, and as per the Ministry of Liberation War Affairs in 2023, there were 2, 354, 467 freedom fighters in the country (there is considerable doubt about the accuracy of this number because it has almost doubled in two years). Thus, the government allocates a quota of 30% in government jobs for families of 0.14% of the population! Besides this quota, there are quotas for the disabled, women, districts, totaling 56%. Considering corruption, nepotism, political favoritism, 75% of the positions are already reserved beforehand. Assuming that 5% of quota recipients are legitimate, the remaining 95% of the population is left with less than 25% of government jobs!
Pakistan era, in comparison, had 56% of the population in East Bengal, but in 1962, 20% East Pakistani were in the civil service, 31% in the State Bank, and officers from East Bengal were 1.56% in the Army in 1956, 1.16% in the navy, and 8.57% in the air force.
The country was created to protect the interests of the common people, ensuring equal rights for all, but now it is even more dynastic! On the other hand, the government feels no shame in emulating Pakistan's example? And calling us protesters and our ancestors Rajakars (literal meaning war criminals)
It could end here but the government is enforcing their student wing to stop us, those are more goons than students. Using knife, guns on innocent unarmed students. And the law enforcement agencies are remaining silent and even killed one protester by shooting point blank.
Freedom fighters have undoubtedly contributed to the country; they receive pensions. Many have become disabled after the war. Considering all these factors, providing quotas to their second generation was logical, but after 53 years on independence 30% quota for the third generations of freedom fighters is not acceptable.
This government is also illegal as they conducted 3 constitutive rigged election. The whole nation held hostage as the law enforcement and military agencies are totally corrupted by this party.
So, I therefore humbly requesting the international community to stand for us.
