The children of freedom fighters (FFs) have demanded to declare disqualified anti-liberation forces for government jobs.
They also demanded to fire the anti-liberation forces from the public services.
Under the banner of Amra Muktijoddhar Sontan, the children of freedom fighters made the demand at a rally in fron of National Press Club the city on Saturday.
They also demanded the government to announce the children of anti-liberation forces ineligible for civil service.
The demand came at a time when students and job-seekers have been waging quota reform protest across the country calling
the system ‘discriminatory’. According to the system, 56 per cent posts are reserved for different quotas, including 30 per cent for children of freedom fighters, 10 per cent each for women and particular districts, 5 per cent for small ethnic groups, and 1 per cent for people with disabilities.
The platform urged the government not to reduce the quota allocated for them.
“We want the government to declare the children of anti-liberation forces ineligible for the government job,” said Sajjad Hossain, president of the platform, at the rally.
For the sake of security of the state, their assets should also be confiscated and Jamaat-Shibir politics should be banned, he said, demanding quota from the preliminary test of Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS).
The organisation also demanded bringing those involved with the vandalism of the Dhaka University Vice-Chancellor’s residence to book.
Speaking at the rally, DU Sociology Professor AKM Jamal Uddin said the existing quota system has helped Bangladesh graduate to the middle-income country. “So, the quota system should remain in force.”
