Bangladesh’s top court on July 21 scaled back a controversial quota system for government job applicants in a historic move. The Bangladesh Supreme Court did not abolish but watered down most of the government job quotas that sparked nationwide violent protests. Attorney General AM Amin Uddin told the AFP news agency that “the Supreme Court has said the High Court verdict was illegal”. The SC ruling is being seen by many as a partial victory for student protesters after days of deadly clashes that claimed nearly 151 lives. However, a Bangladeshi student group which has been protesting against the quotas said it would not abandon protests despite the Supreme Court verdict.

    Isn't it interesting? Back in their time, they also protest. Now the former protesters are being protested.

    The court made no ruling. The court only gave directions. The court has clearly said that this is a government matter, the court cannot interfere here. The students also asked the government for reforms but the government then showed the court to the students. Why? To kill the students? The Supreme Court also did not want to take any responsibility on the quota issue. Today, the court has only given a roadmap on how quotas can be structured. But the government can do more or less if it wants. The essence of today's verdict is: If the government wants to keep 7% quota or if the government wants to increase the quota of freedom fighters to 50% or more up to 99%. The whole matter is in the hands of the government. The court has nothing. Today the government talks about 7%, after 6 months and 1 year if it wants it can do 99%. Talents are not free from this hyena.
