Why is there violence in Bangladesh

At least six people died two days ago in protests demanding reforms in the reservation system. In view of this, the authorities on Wednesday urged all universities to stop teaching activities. Some universities immediately complied, but some universities have not yet taken any decision in this regard. The University Grants Commission has asked all public and private universities to suspend classes and vacate hostels till further notice for the safety of students. The country’s universities operate autonomously. At least six people, including three students, were killed and more than 100 others were injured on Tuesday in clashes between protesters and police in major cities of Bangladesh demanding reforms in the reservation system in government jobs.
