The question raised whether quota system is legally raised. What does our constitution say about this? According to Article 19 (1) of the Constitution, the State will try to ensure equal opportunities for all citizens of the Republic. In the 29 (1) section it has been said that all citizens of the Republic's job will have equal rights. But in our case there is a provision in the constitution to disrupt it. Under Article 29 (3) of the Constitution, it has been legalized to provide disadvantaged groups and to provide special privileges to the Republic's service to ensure their proper representation. The existing quotas will be judged in light of this provision of the constitution. We have to see, the quota system, which we are giving, can be considered as a disadvantaged population in the final judgment.
At first we have to decide what will be the level of comparative backwardness. I think that compared to the number of any population, their comparative representation in jobs or studies is less, but they may be considered as backward. If the aim of the quota is social equality ahead of the aggrieved, then maintaining a quota system for them until it gets comparative representation seems to be appropriate in light of our constitution.
Let's start with the women quota. Often I see some people say that women are not less meritorious, and besides they are doing well in competitive exams, then where is the logic of keeping this quota? Those who said this, should politely remind them that half of the people of the country are women. Undoubtedly women are doing much better than before, there is no scope to doubt their talents too. But despite having 10 percent quota, they did not get half of the jobs in any cadre. It is not difficult to guess what the image would have been like without quota. Debate over the need for women quota is so meaningless It would be advisable to give women quota from that day on the good day that our women get half jobs without quota.
5 percent of tribal quota has been introduced since 1997. The tribal population of Bangladesh is not more than 1 percent of the total population. I do not have much information, but it is visible that the number of tribals in many cadre jobs is now more than 1 percent. In view of this, the quota can be limited to 2% in time.
10 percent of the district quota seems a bit strange to me. I do not understand the logic of having a quota from the district to the cadre, and it is not understandable. It is necessary to keep those districts under the district quota, in districts that have fallen below the representation of representation. Having a quota in a limited number of such districts can be very easy to achieve.
Nobody wants to say anything easily without directly winning the freedom quota quotas. Being sensitive, many avoid the issue, lest any disrespect is expressed to them. The freedom fighters who fought the war with the lives of freedom of the country, the people of Bangladesh will always remember them with great reverence and gratitude. I am sure, even a real freedom fighter did not fight for the sake of personal gain or post. And so, in the freedom fighters quota, discussing the merits of the grandsons and granddaughters of freedom fighters, they were disgraced, I do not think so. If there is any real dishonesty of the brave freedom fighters, it is rather a scandal in the last few years of the Freedom Fighter Charter scandal and ill treatment of immoral benefits through him.
