Stop movements, don’t create public sufferings

Awami League (AL) General Secretary Obaidul Quader has urged the students demonstrating for for scrapping the quota system in government service to go back to their respective educational institutions, stopping their movement that creates huge public sufferings, reports BSS.
The government must take legal actions if anyone tries to capitalise on the emotion of innocent students and to create anarchy across the country, he said.
The AL leaders came up with the remarks while addressing a press briefing at the AL President's Office in city's Dhanmondi on Thursday.
Quader said BNP wants to turn the anti-quota movement into anti-government agitations. But Awami League would never allow them to do it, he said, adding, "We will face it politically if anyone tries to give the anti-quota movement a political shape."
He said the women have gone backward in absence of quota system in the last five years. The ethnic groups also suffered a lot. Quota system plays an important role in building the state system on basis of diversity and equality, he added.
