LIVE: Violence Grips Bangladesh, Anti-Quota Stir Death Toll Rises to 32 | Vantage with Palki Sharma

The anti-quota protests are escalating in Bangladesh. Around 32 have been killed and more than 500 have been injured in violent clashes between police and protesters. Due to the protests, all schools and colleges have been shut indefinitely, security agencies have been deployed and mobile internet has been suspended. Students are protesting against the quota system in government jobs. Bangladesh used to reserve 30% jobs for freedom fighters, who fought in the 1971 Liberation war. In 2018, there was a pushback against the quota system due to which it was abolished. However, this month, Dhaka's High Court reversed the 2018 ruling, bringing back the quota system.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has offered to negotiate with protesters but the students have declined her proposal. While addressing the nation on Wednesday, PM Hasina has condemned the student deaths and threatened strict action against the perpetrators. How can the student protests affect Bangladesh's internal security and diplomatic ties with the West? On Vantage tonight, Palki Sharma tells you more.

This beautiful ladies voice, atitude, takes, and side remarks are admirable

The Law provides that every Indian Citizen has a right to reside, study and obtain means of livelihood ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY.Trying to enforce this “LOCALS ONLY “ norm will be counter productive and unconstitutional.Karnataka should also remember that MILLIONS OF KANNADIGAS ARE WORKING OUTSIDE THEIR STATE and it will be a disaster if they are removed from jobs for similar reasons.

[Asifkhan-qsjt]

Discussing quota in Karnataka and protest in Bangladesh are important to you but UP government orders to street vendors to display name plates during Kanwar Yatra is not that Important. Shameful!

[User-ndz]

You have got blood on your hands police and sheikh hasina shame on you

[ॐSrimanArcharyaJBC]

Please note that there are many girls called Bina or Beena Patel and they should not be mixed up with my own sister Bina. The Patels and Das families have nothing to do with myself as I or my family don’t want them.

Why, how they can, what their intentions are .Eateries have been asked to display owners during kanwar yatra in UP, Utrakhand which is a shameful decision by the states government, can you please broadcast this important news as well . Which jihad is it against Muslims vendors .

Hasina is starting the game and the Awami League is cheering to death. You only tell the un truth. This solution could have been done earlier. Juba League, Chatro League is killing. Along with that, Police, BGB, RAB, Army are shooting. Jamat islam is small organization.

Hindi speaker come here for good life and they force us all of us auto driver can driver local workers to speak hindi instead of learning at least basic kannada even after leaving here for 10 years .. same people go to France for one year and clear French A2 or Germany and clear C certificate for citizenship.. this is double standard

[leovel]

Vantage team shows solidarity with Palestine people. What about the hostages? They can go to hell, right?

Dear Palki and co, you'd better advocate hostages release instead of baying for Netanyahu's blood.
