Students likely to announce fresh programmes on Thursday

The quota protestors are likely to announce fresh programmes on Thursday as the 48-hour ultimatum to fulfill their four-point demand ends tomorrow.

The protestors said that they will speak to journalists after the ultimatum period.
Earlier on Tuesday, four co-coordinators of the Quota Reform Movement at a press conference at Dhaka Reporters Unity, rejected the government circular allocating quotas in government jobs.

At the press conference, Sarjis placed a four-point demand -- seeking safety of protest organisers, full restoration of internet, withdrawal of curfew, reopening of educational institutions and withdrawal of law enforcers from campuses. 

Issuing a 48-hour ultimatum, they said these are the preconditions of holding talks with the government.

"Our ultimatum will end on Thursday. After that we will sit together to assess the overall situation and brief the media about our stance," said Sarjis Alam.
