BNP senior leader Moudud Ahmed said on Tuesday the recommendation for abolishing the quota system for class-I and class-II jobs in civil service is a 'deception' by the government, reports UNB.
He made the comments while speaking at a discussion organised by Bangladesh Jatiya Manabadhikar Parishad at the National Press Club in the city.
He also feared the country will witness many changes in the next one month ahead of the national election.
"Those who waged a movement sought reform in all government jobs. They didn't seek such reform what the government committee recommended. It's a deception," the BNP leader said.
Moudud accused the government of betraying the quota-reform demonstrators with the recommendation. "It (recommendation) needs to be reconsidered. We've sympathy for the demonstrators. I believe their movement won't go in vain."
A government committee has recently recommended scrapping the quota system for class-I and class-II government jobs.
Moudud, a BNP standing committee member, said the students had demanded reform in job quota for ensuring proper evaluation of merit at all stages of the government jobs.
"But the recommendation is given for removing quota system for class I and class II jobs."
He said the country's young generation did not have any idea about the nature of Awami League and its traits. "They've realised it through the government's attitude towards the students during the movements for safe roads and quota reform. The government deceived the demonstrators."
The BNP leader said the new generation will not vote for Awami League in the next election as the government deceived them.
Moudud alleged the government is talking about formation of an election-time government though there is no such provision in the Constitution. "It's an imaginary proposal."
