On the second day of the student-led demonstration, demanding the reinstatement of the 2018 circular abolishing quotas in first- and second-class public service recruitment, the capital’s Shahbagh intersection once again turned into an epicenter of mass protest as demonstrators occupied the area.<\/p>\n
The second day of the last year’s July uprising unfolded with a massive leap in scale as the anti-discrimination student movement, initially centered around Dhaka University, transformed into a coordinated national protest for abolishing quota system.<\/p>\n
Students and job seekers on July 2 brought out a massive protest rally and occupied the capital’s Shahbagh with a vow to remain on the streets until their demands are fulfilled, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing movement against what they termed a discriminatory quota policy.<\/p>\n
