Bangladesh top court scales back the share as over hundred bones in kick

TDN

The Supreme Court of Bangladesh on Sunday, July 21, ordered spanning down the share system following civil demurrers led by the scholars which saw further than 100 people getting killed and thousands injured. The protesting scholars were demanding to scrap the country’s share system that reserves 30 of government jobs for families of the country’s freedom fighters, along with other reservations leaving just 44 of openings open to the scholars.

The court ruling has reduced the freedom fighter share to 5 and maintained 2 reserved for ethnical nonages; transgender and else- abled people. The court ruling opens 93 job openings grounded on merit furnishing stopgap to the youth in the country that's floundering with a stagnant frugality.

The protesting scholars were against the reservation which was effectively favouring the third generation of the families of freedom fighters who are substantially the sympathizers of Bangladesh’s ruling party, Awami League.

The thoroughfares in the country have come calm following the verdict. Meanwhile, pupil leaders ate the court order but pledged to continue demonstrations till the jugged scholars are free and the officers responsible for the violence are held responsible.
