Bangladesh Top Court Rolls Back Job Quotas After Deadly Protests

ai generated text

The Supreme Court of Bangladesh has scaled back a controversial job quota system, reducing the number of government jobs reserved for war veterans and their descendants. The original quota system reserved 30% of government jobs for relatives of those who fought in Bangladesh's war of independence against Pakistan in 1971. However, students have been demanding an end to this system, claiming it favors allies of the governing Awami League party. Under the court's orders, Bangladesh will now reserve only 5% of jobs for the children and grandchildren of those who fought for the country's independence. The remaining of government jobs will be allocated on a merit-based system. This decision comes after weeks of demonstrations led by students, which turned deadly on Tuesday.
