Khulna,
July 16 (UNB) -Students from various government and private universities and
colleges in Khulna blocked the Khulna-Jashore Highway this morning, protesting
Chhatra League's attack on students demanding quota reform.
Students from BL
College, Haji Muhammad Mohsin College, and other colleges held a protest march
and blocked the road at 10:30 am, at Notun Rasta intersection in the city,
causing traffic gridlock. At 11:30 am, students from Khulna University and
other educational institutions blocked the road at Shibbari Chottor in Khulna.
"We have been
conducting a peaceful movement for rational quota reform. However, general
students have been attacked in various parts of the country. We strongly
condemn and protest against this heinous attack," said Khulna University
student Saif Nawaz.
"Many of our
brothers and sisters have been injured in the attacks. Their blood has been
shed. We demand justice for this incident. Our movement will continue until our
demands are met. We will return home as soon as our demands are met," said
another student, Monirul Hosaain Adib.
