Firing was done on anti-reservation movement
This murder case is related to the protest against reservation in Bangladesh. Actually, on 19th July, a protest was being held against reservation in Bosila area of Bangladesh’s capital Dhaka. During this time, the supporters of the protest were taking out a huge procession. The police opened fire on this procession, in which Abu Saeed was killed. In this case, many government officials including Sheikh Hasina have been made accused.
How did the movement start in Bangladesh?
Let us tell you that reservation in government jobs in Bangladesh was given to the families of those who played a role in the freedom struggle against Pakistan. Violent protests started there against this quota. Sheikh Hasina tried to stop this movement with both strategy and force, but both her efforts failed. Finally she accepted all the demands of the protesters, but the protesters insisted on her resignation. Accepting the demands of the protesters, Sheikh Hasina resigned and quietly came to India, since then she is in India.
