The anti-quota protests are escalating in Bangladesh. Around 32 have been killed and more than 500 have been injured in violent clashes between police and protesters. Due to the protests, all schools and colleges have been shut indefinitely, security agencies have been deployed and mobile internet has been suspended. Students are protesting against the quota system in government jobs. Bangladesh used to reserve 30% jobs for freedom fighters, who fought in the 1971 Liberation war. In 2018, there was a pushback against the quota system due to which it was abolished. However, this month, Dhaka’s High Court reversed the 2018 ruling, bringing back the quota system.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has offered to negotiate with protesters but the students have declined her proposal. While addressing the nation on Wednesday, PM Hasina has condemned the student deaths and threatened strict action against the perpetrators. How can the student protests affect Bangladesh’s internal security and diplomatic ties with the West? On Vantage tonight, Palki Sharma tells you more.
