Bangladeshi Students Protest Quota System, Set Fire to State Broadcaster

Students in Bangladesh have launched widespread protests against the quota system for government jobs, leading to violence, including the setting of fire to the state broadcaster. The protests stem from the controversial quota system, which allocates up to 30% of government jobs to veterans’ families from the 1971 independence war. Students demand the abolition of this system, arguing it is discriminatory and favors the ruling party. Despite the government’s support for the quota system, the protests continue, fueled by frustration over limited job opportunities and perceived unfairness.
