July 13, 2024   

In recent days, Bangladesh is seeing student protests in many parts of the country, esp. in the university campuses. The protesting students have valid reasons to protest about a quota system that they find highly unfair and discriminatory. A whopping 30% of the well-paid and massively over-subscribed Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) posts are reserved for the family members of those who fought during the liberation war of 1971, and another 10% for women, 10% for districts, 5% for ethnic minorities and 1% for the disabled/handicaps. This leaves only 44% of the jobs reserved for merit to roughly 98% of the applicants.

Vidya, Mumbai,
UPDATED: Jul 9, 2024

The Maharashtra police told the High Court that no case was established for Section 295A against BJP MLA Nitesh Rane. (File photo).

 

The Maharashtra police informed the Bombay High Court on Tuesday that they have chosen not to invoke provisions for outraging religious sentiments against BJP leaders, including Kankavli MLA Nitesh Rane.
