Agitating students once again blocked Shahbagh intersection on Friday, demanding the cancellation of the government job quota system and reinstatement of a 2018 circular.
Although anti-quota protesters announced countrywide rallies on campuses in response to yesterday's police action on students in several locations outside Dhaka, students of Dhaka University and Dhaka College blocked Shahbagh intersection around 5:20 pm.
Dhaka University students brought out a rally from the central library around 5:00 pm and gathered at Shahbagh intersection. Later, students of Dhaka College joined the protest.
Earlier on Thursday night, Nahid Islam, a spokesman for the quota movement, declared countrywide rallies on campuses.
