Bangladesh Violent Protest: Supreme Court Scales Back Job Quota That Sparked Deadly Violence
Bangladesh’s Supreme Court has ordered a significant reduction in the country’s controversial quota system for government jobs, following nationwide protests and violent clashes that have resulted in numerous casualties.
The new ruling stipulates that 93% of government jobs will now be allocated based on merit, with the remaining 7% reserved for relatives of veterans from Bangladesh’s 1971 war of independence and other specific categories.
Previously, 30% of these jobs were reserved for war veterans' relatives.
