Though the government has abolished the quota system in first class public service, it is preparing a policy for persons with disabilities as well as ethnic and underprivileged groups so that they can easily get government jobs, said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday.

“There was a movement against the quota system, and again there was a series of movements a few days later. That's why we had to abolish the system; this is true. But, now we're preparing a policy wherein there'll be a priority for persons with disabilities, as well as ethnic and underprivileged groups,” she said.

The Prime Minister was addressing a function marking the 27th International and 20th National Day of Persons with Disabilities at Bangladesh International Conference Centre, reports UNB.

The theme for the day this year is “Empowering persons with disabilities and ensuring inclusiveness and equality”.

She urged the affluent section of society to come forward to ensure the welfare of people with disabilities. The government is determined to ensure basic rights of disabled individuals, Hasina added.
