রাজু ভাস্কর্যে ছাত্রসমাবেশ, ঢাকার বাইরেও বিক্ষোভ
This Prothom Alo news article covers the first anniversary of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement (বৈষম্যবিরোধী ছাত্র আন্দোলন), documenting the events of July 1, 2024, when students launched organized protests at Dhaka University's Raju Sculpture (টিএসসি) demanding reinstatement of the 2018 circular that had abolished the government job quota system. The protest began at the university library, marched through campus, and concluded with a rally where coordinator Nahid Islam announced a class-and-exam boycott through July 4 and declared that Shahbag intersection would be blockaded on July 2–4. The article also details how the movement spread nationwide, with students at Jahangirnagar University blocking the Dhaka-Aricha highway and students at Rajshahi University and Bangladesh Agricultural University holding demonstrations. Movement organizer Abu Bakers Majumdar revealed that protests were simultaneously coordinated across 11 locations under the movement's banner on that single day. The protests were triggered by a High Court ruling on June 5, 2024 that declared the quota-abolition circular illegal, prompting students to mobilize throughout June before launching the formal nationwide movement on July 1.
