Protesters have ended Friday's (12 July) demonstrations in the capital's Shahbagh demanding reform of the quota system in government jobs and justice for reported attacks on protesters by police.
Organisers have announced to hold symbolic meetings across university campuses tomorrow to discuss further steps, our correspondent reports from the spot at around 7:00pm.
According to the announcement, the organisers have called for a press conference tomorrow at 6:00pm near the Dhaka University central library where they will disclose the next steps regarding the movement.
Earlier in the afternoon, protesters brought out a procession that circled the campus and ended at the Shahbagh intersection.
The students then blocked the intersection and held a brief rally. But they left the place within an hour.
Meanwhile, students of Rajshahi University blocked the railway today afternoon, demanding reform of the quota system. Also, the students from Khulna University, University of Chittagong and Jagannath University have also staged demonstration with similar demands.
Besides, university students across the country began protesting against the quota system for government jobs earlier this month after the HC on 30 June ordered to restore the quota for descendants of freedom fighters which was abolished in 2018.
