Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal has said regarding the anti-quota movement, if aggitating students have something to say, they should refrain from blocking roads and instead present their concerns in court.
He said this after the inauguration of the Bangladesh Police Liberation War Museum at Mymensingh Police Lines on Saturday.
He said: "We do not know if blocking roads will bring any benefits, but it will increase public suffering. Those going to hospitals will suffer more."
The home minister said: "The Chief Justice has given clear instructions, and judgments issued by the High Court have been suspended again.
DB chief: Anti-quota protests being fueled by external forces“I urge the protesters to come to the High Court and express their concerns, where judicial work is ongoing so that their voices can be heard and the Chief Justice can facilitate the judicial process. I believe it is appropriate to wait for them a little. Their agitation should be stopped," he added.
Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal also said: "Quotas exist everywhere in the world. Every country has some underprivileged communities. For example, in our country, there are quotas for small ethnic groups, which are also enshrined in the constitution.
“If the quotas for small ethnic groups are abolished, they will not be able to unite with others. We want everyone to walk together, and no one should be absent," he added.
Earlier, he inaugurated 11 development projects at the district police lines.
He visited the Bangladesh Police Liberation War Museum in Mymensingh and later planted trees in the museum courtyard. The museum houses various aspects and information about Mymensingh's history and heritage.
