Students who are protesting to reform rather than reinstate the quota system in government jobs, have announced rallies on campuses countrywide oTuesday in response to today's attack on them by the activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League, the ruling party student front.

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.
