Dhaka: The violence in Bangladesh over the reservation system in government jobs is getting worse. After 98 people died in the violence last week, the total number of deaths in the country has exceeded 300.
To control violence, the government has imposed an indefinite curfew from 6 pm on August 4. Due to the widespread violence in the country, school and colleges have also been close.
The Internet has been shut down in Bangladesh. Meanwhile, the government called for a discussion, but the agitators rejected it and demanded the resignation of the Prime Minister.
On the contrary, the Indian government has advised its citizens to take precautions and not to go out unnecessarily. Apart from this help line no. The numbers are +8801958383679, +8801958383680, +8801937400591.
Why the protest?
The whole country is now burning in the fire of the student movement that started from the university. Those who fought for freedom from Pakistan in 1971 are called freedom fighters. The government announced 30 percent reservation in government jobs for the children of these fighters. There is a protest about that. Later this decision was overturned.
Bangladesh has 56 percent reservation in government jobs. The remaining 44 percent jobs are found on the basis of merit. However, there is no separate reservation system for Hindus in Bangladesh.
