Demand expulsion of eight students
Upon entering the Bangladesh Secretariat premises, one might hesitate to believe that this is the country’s highest policymaking establishment.
At least 50 people were injured as clashes broke out at the Secretariat between law enforcers and HSC examinees, who were demonstrating for various demands, including the resignation of Education Adviser Prof CR Abrar and the education secretary.
When protest seeks to punish through pressure, it crosses a clear ethical line
Students of polytechnic institutes yesterday announced to launch a long march to Dhaka if the government fails to respond to their six-point demand within 48 hours.
Today's rally comes a day after students staged a "Rise in Red" programme
Students of all polytechnic institutes across the country will stage a protest march after Juma prayers today.
The meeting began around 12:00pm at the Secretariat, where Rehana Yasmin, additional secretary (technical wing) of the Technical and Madrasah Education Division, met an 18-member delegation from Karigori Chhatro Andolon, Bangladesh.
The blockade has caused a long tailback on roads in the neighbouring areas.
