[extra terrestrial]

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today said the quota system in government jobs for freedom fighters, their children and grandchildren will continue.

The Prime Minister made the announcement at a time when a section of students and job-seekers are agitating seeking reform of the quota system in government jobs.

Chittagong South Awami League organised the rally at the place where Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman delivered speech in 1969, 1970 and 1973 while Jawaharal Nehru in 1943.

Sheikh Hasina said no one should forget the people of the country got their long-cherished independence for the sacrifice of freedom fighters. "We've to give their due honour, we've arranged the quota system so that their children and grandchildren could get job."

She mentioned that if anyone is not found to fill the quota then the system will be relaxed to fill those with other brilliant students.

"If the freedom fighters had not sacrificed for the independence then there would have been no job for the people of this land," she said.

Held with Chittagong South Awami League president Moslem Uddin Ahmed in the chair, the rally was also addressed by AL general secretary Obaidul Kader, AL presidium member and Housing and Public Works Minister Engineer Mosharraf Hossain, AL Publicity Secretary Dr Hasan Mahmud, MP, State Minister for Land Saifuzzaman Chowdhury, Nurul Alam Chowdhury, Chittagong City Awami League acting president Mahtab Uddin Chowdhury, Local MP Shamshul Huq Chowdhury and Chittagong City Corporation Mayor AJM Nasir Uddin.

Earlier, the Prime Minister inaugurated and laid the foundation stones of 41 development projects.

Children I get but why grand children? Those grandchildren's parents get this opportunity to make sure those kids get fair chance but then this kids also gets quotas where millions of others have to compete to get the jobs? This is just taking jobs away from hard working brilliants to literally random people because of bloodline.

exactly. For government jobs, 56% of the seats are reserved for quota, although tthose who fall under the quota represent less than 2% of our population . Thats why the revisionists simply wanted to reduce the number to 10% . They have been protesting against this unjust system for years now, in fact back in 2013 they started a simillar movement, but PM as always has said no to their propositions.

Should be 2% or less. It's the parliament, we need competent people for those positions. If you want to make lives better for children who had nothing to do with war but hit bloodline jackpot, I am completely fine with giving them free money from the govt without any need for work. But I can't accept people like these who are not the best qualified, in positions of power to decide where this country goes. Make it 0% and give them free money but this is a ridiculous system where 163+ million people's country has 56% quota in parliament for special DNA carriers. Makes absolutely no sense.

completely agree with you. This 30% ff quota system just made to ensure BAL people get those jobs.

Actually no, The number of people protesting this probably outweigh the number of people who acutally support quotas, hell, *some* people who enjoy the quota facillities are against this unfair quota distribution. But as usual, those who do enjoy FF (freedom fighter) quota are branding the revisionisnts as "JAMAT-SHIBIR", *some* even stated that only the children of freedom fighters should have the right to stay in the country!! Its a very
