প্রধানমন্ত্রীর চীন সফর-পরবর্তী সম্মেলনে রাজাকার- মুক্তিযোদ্ধা বিতর্ক – July-36

This Bengali news article, dated July 14, 2024, covers a post-press conference controversy in Bangladesh sparked by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's return from a China visit. During the press conference, when asked by a journalist which candidate she would hire between a freedom fighter's child and a Razakar's (collaborator's) child if both were equally qualified, Hasina responded she would choose the freedom fighter's child, adding: "Why so much resentment toward freedom fighters? If their grandchildren won't get jobs, will Razakars' grandchildren get them instead?" The article focuses on how this exchange escalated the ongoing quota reform protest movement in Bangladesh, adding a politically charged dimension to an already sensitive issue. Hasina also stated the government could not act on the quota system until the Appellate Division issued its verdict. The piece also lists numerous related news headlines covering nationwide student protests, including marches in Dhaka, Rajshahi, Chittagong, and Kushtia, allegations of attacks on protesters by student wing Chhatra League, a memorandum submitted to the President with a 24-hour deadline, and three Chhatra League leaders resigning at Dhaka University.
