Seven representatives of several student organisations submitted a memo to the Prime Minister’s Office yesterday, seeking support from the prime minister to grant justice to the medical admission seekers.
The protesters will continue the demonstration until their demands are met. They will assemble at the Central Shaheed Minar at 10am today. They will hold a torch rally protest tomorrow, setting out from TSC at the University of Dhaka.
If the protesters’ demands are not met by October 6, they will hold student strikes across the nation on October 7, said Samajtantrik Chhatra Front member Imran Habib Ruman in a press brief at 5pm, before ending the demonstration for the day.
He made the announcement yesterday at the Shahbagh intersection where the protesters had gathered, halting traffic movement at the busy area.
About 10 student organisations are involved in this protest.
Several different student organisations have demanded that the results of the medical college admission test, held on September 18, be scrapped because exam questions were leaked on Facebook the night before the exam.
Since then, protests have been held continually at different points in the capital.
