Government will satisfy logical demands of students – Wahiduddin

The caretaker government is ready to accept if students have any logical demands, but no unreasonable demands will be entertained at all, Education Advisor Dr Wahiduddin Mahmud said today (Nov 25).

“For my part, I have appealed to the students to come forward with their demands, the just demands will be met and there will be no need to be on the roads,” he said when asked about the ongoing clashes between students of different colleges. while speaking at the post-ECNEC meeting briefing in the NEC Auditorium.

The meeting, held in the NEC conference room, was chaired by Chief Advisor Professor Muhammad Yunus.

Wahiduddin, who also holds the planning portfolio, said many such movements stopped after he accepted the demands as logical and had the confidence to address them in a defensible manner.

“There are so many organizations in Dhaka that often appear on the roads or block roads to press their demands. How will these problems be solved? I alone will not be able to solve the problems, but in principle, fair demands will be resolved,” he said.

The adviser noted that there are some demands that are unreasonable.

“We will not accept these demands at all,” he said.

He also said that if discipline breaks down on the roads, if protesters block railway tracks and attack passengers, public support will be directed against them.

“So we are in a favorable position that over time people will resist them. And people have already started to do so,” he said.
