Before lifting the blockade, Nahid Islam, the coordinator of the anti-discrimination student movement, said that the 'Bangla Blockade' program has been announced from three o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Not only at Shahbag Mor, students of universities and colleges will come down and make the program successful at every point including Shahbagh and Dhaka City Science Lab, Chankhanarpool, Neelkhet, Motijheel. Students will block the highways at the district and university levels outside Dhaka
At this time, Nahid Islam also said that the government is acting irresponsibly by making the students and the court stand face to face The executive department cannot avoid its responsibility In 2018, the Prime Minister said, there will be no quota So why did the quota come back? Why is the farce with the students? We will carry out programs like hartal if necessary to realize the demands It is not just a student movement Teachers and parents should also come down in the movement.
Pointing out that the student strike and class-examination boycott program has already received a massive response, Nahid further said, "Even if the teachers return to the classes, we will not return to the classes until the demands are met." Anti-quota activists announce 'Bangla Blockade'
