Nahid Islam, a key organiser and a spokesman for the quota movement, announced the programme at a press briefing in front of Curzon Hall of Dhaka University around 9:30pm.
They will stage demonstrations and bring out protest rallies from campuses across the country to press home their demand of reforming the quota system, he added.
He also urged the students to join the programme to make it successful, reports UNB.
Around 300 students were injured when BCL activists swooped on the protesters at different Universities including Dhaka University this afternoon.
