At least 6 killed and dozens injured in clashes in Bangladesh over job quota system | The World

At least 6 people were killed and dozens injured in two separate incidents in Bangladesh as violence continued Tuesday on university campuses in the nation's capital and elsewhere over a government jobs quota scheme. Protesters have been demanding an end to a quota reserved for family members of veterans who fought in Bangladesh’s war of independence in 1971, which allows them to take up 30% of governmental jobs. Investigative journalist Zulkarnain Saer tells The World’s Beverley O’Connor about the situation in Bangladesh where “only the ruling party people are getting proper jobs, decent employment, business opportunities”.
