Dhaka University (DU) students staged a protest on Sunday (June 9) against the High Court’s order to reinstate the quota system in government jobs.

On Sunday (June 9) at 11 am, students gathered in front of the DU central library.

Later, the students marched university's art building, administrative building, vice-chancellor square and concluded protest at the Raju sculpture.

At this time the protesters shouted slogans demanding the repeal of the quota system in government jobs.

Moazzem Hossain, a student at the protest, said, “I saw the speech of the Education Minister recently. He is not the Minister of Students. Those who are in favour of quota, he said, using the spirit of the liberation war to cover up their incompetence.”

Simultaneously, protests were held at Chittagong University (CU), Rajshahi University (RU), Jahangirnagar University (JU), and Jagannath University (JnU)

At the rally's conclusion, a student delegation submitted a memorandum to the Attorney General, urging the retraction of the High Court's decision and the reintroduction of the 2018 policy.
