Staff Correspondent: Students and job seekers have demanded of the government to publish a gazette on quota scrapping by this month.

Joint convener of Bangladesh General Students’ Rights Protection Forum Nurul Haq Noor announced this at a press conference held in front of Dhaka University Central Library on Thursday.

He also said they would wage a tougher movement if the gazette is not published abolishing quota within this month.

They also demanded of the government to withdraw cases against general students and identify the attackers of VC residence.

Demanding security of the students on the campus, the leaders also claimed that protesters in all the universities throughout the country are facing various kinds of harassment.
