The protesters have announced to continue the movement of quota reforms in the government service until the Prime Minister announces specific announcements. They will perform class-test boycott programs in all universities and colleges of the country from today on Wednesday. At the same time, the protesters talked about continuing the road blockade across the country.
The Bangladesh General Students' Rights Reservation Council announced the announcement of a press conference in front of the Central Library of Dhaka University on Tuesday evening. They also demanded release of all detainees and treatment of the injured.
The announcement came in the wake of Finance Minister Abul Maal Abdul Muhith's statement that the protesters in the quota reforms are not addressed to the Agriculture Minister Matia Chowdhury as the 'children of Razakars' and it is not possible to reform the quota before the next budget. The protesters said that on Monday, they decided to postpone the agitation till May 7 in a meeting with Road Transport and Construction Minister Obaidul Quader in the Secretariat. But they are not able to trust because of the comments of the two ministers of the government.
After the meeting in secretariat on Monday evening, after returning to Raju Shankar, a delegation of the party announced the suspension of the movement till 7 May, when a party declared the movement to continue. Yesterday, there was a rally-rally in different universities including Dhaka University almost every day. There are no classes in the public and private universities of the country including Dhaka University.
The student rights conservation council passed a press conference in front of the university's central library at 10:30 am and asked Matia Chowdhury to withdraw his statement in the afternoon and asked for apology. But when the announcement was not made, the announcement was made to continue the movement in the evening and the two parties became one.
In addition to Obaidul Quader, some ministers, including Finance Minister Abul Maal Abdul Muhith, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan, Information Minister Hasanul Haque Inu and others, spoke differently about quota reforms and student movements. In a notification sent by the Ministry of Road Transport and Bridge at night, Obaidul Quader said that if anyone else has said anything about the quota reform, it is his personal opinion. He said the government's statement is that the government's decision will be made on the quota reforms on May 7.
It may be mentioned that a delegation of protesters called on the leader of the Road Transport Ministry to demand quota reform with the central leaders of Awami League under the leadership of Obaidul Quader. At this time the protesters were assured that the Prime Minister gave instructions to review the quota reforms. In this context, the announcement of the suspension of the movement has not been stopped.
Earlier, on February 17, students of the movement demanded five-point quota for quota reforms. To bring the quota system from 56 percent to 10 percent, if the eligible candidate does not get a quota, get appointment from merit to vacancies, not taking any kind of special exam in quota, uniform age limit for all government service and quota for employment recruitment Their movement
In the continuation of the movement, on 8th April, there was a public procession program across the country. The protesters also became violent in the police attack.

Meanwhile, in addition to the Dhaka University, protesters have organized protests in Chittagong, Rajshahi, Khulna, Sylhet, Rangpur and Narayanganj yesterday. They protested against Agriculture Minister Matia Chowdhury's remarks and the Finance Minister's statement. Students of Rajshahi University boycott classroom tests. Students of Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology have organized programs at the university's central Shaheed Minar. The students of Begum Rokeya University and Carmichael College also took part in various programs. In Dhaka yesterday, seven private university students joined the movement.

They have been slogan 'Bangabandhu Bangla, Bangla, Joy Bangabandhu' and 'Joy Bangla, Joy Bangabandhu'. At one stage, they gave slogans against Matia Chowdhury.
Joint Convenor of the Quota Reform Movement Committee Rashed Khan said at the press conference that the students of Bangladesh got bored. They do not want to take one month time. They do not mean long-term planning. He further said, in the colleges, which are located in every university, college and district levels of Bangladesh from today onwards, the classes-test will be closed indefinitely. As long as the demands are not accepted, the program will continue and the day will be blocked every day.
On the question of whether the decision to suspend the movement for one month was canceled, he said, while talking to Obaidul Quader, another joint convener Nurul Haque said that at the request of the high-level leaders of the Awami League, it was agreed to suspend the program till May 7.
