Bangladesh Chhatra League President Saddam Hussain has said that a logical demand of students went to the High Court, yet they are still blocking roads and protesting.
Saddam said that after the High Court's verdict, ordinary students ceased their protests, but “those who are still protesting are the ‘professional protestors’.”
He said this at a rally organized to issue quota reform by the Bangladesh Chhatra League in front of the Raju sculpture at Dhaka University on Thursday.
Saddam accused protest supporters, including BNP and Jamaat, of being “professional underdogs of protest” who joined any movement to further their own agendas.
Quota reform: Fears of clash between DU students, Chhatra LeagueHe criticized their involvement, said: “They fail in every protest, so they go support any movement that starts.”
He assured that the Bangladesh Chhatra League would provide a logical and sustainable solution to the rational demands of the majority of students.
Chhatra League president noted the irony in the protestors' movement, titled "Anti-Discriminatory Student Movement," highlighting that “only 75% of the cadres are males, with the remaining 25% being female.”
He pointed out that their demands do not address this discrimination.
Emphasizing the need for equity and equality, Hussain questioned the motives of the protestors, suggesting that they were more interested in destabilizing the country than genuinely reforming the quota system.
During the rally, a clash occurred between two groups of the Dhaka University branch of the Chhatra League. The conflict was reportedly over the place for the rally.
