Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid on Saturday urged the students to be patient and to return to classes saying that the government had already taken steps for fulfilling their demands.
He, at the same time asked the students to call off their demonstrations.
The minister was speaking at the convocation ceremony of Sylhet Metropolitan University on Saturday morning.
The government had already accepted students’ all the demands, he said. Implementation of some of the demands will take time and students’ sufferings in transport will be allayed once it begins, he said.
Nahid said that the Ministry of Education also supported the movement and the ministry would maintain pressure in order to bring the ‘killer drivers’ to justice.
The education minister said he was hopeful that students would slowly begin to return to classes.
Transport workers were attempting to sow discord by using the protests as an excuse to halt services, he said. This cannot happen, said Nahid.
They must instead continue their regular services and ensure that people have access to transportation, he said.
