9:30 am
was telling me that sharing personal stories with a global audience, it's you who determine what the future we all collective we make, always explode on a funded law class progress on which is the supreme court in bung with our scales back a government jobs, florida protests against the controversial policy lead to a nationwide curfew killings and the communications blackouts. so, well, this move appease angry students and what's behind the recurring interest? this is inside, so the hello and welcome to the program. i'm how much enjoy them. after weeks of widespread on rest and bung with dash, the supreme court has changed the controversial quarter system for government jobs
9:31 am
. it's significantly reduced the share of public sector positions reserved for war veterans, family members. but despite the ruling, the protest appear to be far from over. initially, student led, they've grown to include people frustrated by rising inflation and high food prices . dozens of student leaders, activists and opposition figures have been arrested with soldiers on the streets. a nationwide curfew is in place and a communications blackout. there are also growing costs for prime minister. she has seen that to take accountability. so what does this mean for her government and will the quarter reforms be enough to restore com? we'll explore these issues with our guests in a moment, but 1st, this report by katya lopez would be on the supreme court in bangladesh, appears to have listened to tens of thousands. then we students after weeks of demonstrations and police track down the top court scales back a quota system for government jobs. the protest began in early july after the reinstatement of a controversial policy,
9:32 am
which reserves more than half of the government jobs for minorities and relatives of veterans who fly for independence in 1971. now the court has reduced that share from 56 percent to 7 business on the gear long the that means 93 percent of the closer will be for the general public. 5 percent for freedom sizes and they relatives one percent for ethnic minorities and one percent for transgender and physically disabled applicants initially led by students. the protests grew to include people frustrated with high inflation and rising food prices. the government deployed the army to enforce a nationwide curfew and cut mo bile and internet services to ensure security. it said more than a 100 people have been killed. thousands injured. why the people were killed and tortured. they were killed without government permission as like hold for
9:33 am
reforms to the quote, a system. the state should take responsibility. it doesn't matter of common sense, but more than 50 percent of the jobs cannot be given a way to quote, to hold. there is a normal state cannot be run like this. the unrest points to a wider frustration with the governing. allow me league 7 months ago, prime minister shake of see now one of 5th truman elections. critics described as a sham. the opposition fully caught at the boat, accusing her of corruption and suppressing the sent about 20000 opposition activists were arrested. but this time the government says it invited students detox jenna. would that be the students who are against the quite so we welcome them and put the proposals up for discussion out hon prime. it is to shake us so you know, also welcomes their input. the government supporters point to the economic transformation under has seen this leadership which has lifted millions of people out of poverty.
9:34 am
despite that nearly 20 percent of the population is out of work or school and has seen is government is facing a new pushback. led by your younger generation patsy. a little bit. so the un which is 0 for insights story. all right, let's go ahead and bring in our guess. joining us from sydney is more bosher hudson, a political analyst, and post doctoral fellow at the university of oswald in athens. ohio. how much i should have was a mine is an exile, bangladesh and human rights activist and researcher at ohio university. and in new delhi, we have 3 rather not to a professor at the gentile school of international affairs for research focuses on bangladesh, india relations warm welcome to all, and thanks so much for joining us today on inside story. well, actually let me start with you today. on with us, just supreme court has scaled back this controversial quota system, but it did not abolish it. well,
9:35 am
this ruling be satisfactory to all the students who been protesting and demanding an into the system. so i think there will be we can only say what would be the exact reaction of this to them ones the um you know, call when you get some black or they lifted the brass uh black out. that would be lifted um, sofa. so, but it seems to me that bed go, don't move in or not become fine within just about quote i any more because uh that a lot of young kids have been in a shop that was that a lot of young kids who demanded that right for the bonds to that is that lack traumatized ended up being jude in hospitals and on so some of them are forceful. it is that the other and then finally to be the town.
9:36 am
and so for, so i think that'll be a lot of anger, frustration reset menu. so this quote, i'm a man, i do not think it is confining, quote, a whole bunch of people. and i'm a washer. if i could just follow up with you and, and ask you what, what are some of the other root causes of the anger that's being displayed in these protests? so 1st of all, you know, this is a young generation. the little i called again, are some z and not, i know a lot of support shut off. you don't get i some one not being able to do because of the airport. so there is a disconnection between the stead and this young, you know, so we're mainly on the same numbers. and they saw that when they raised the demand, there is a group of civilians who will work in tandem with law enforcement agencies. and i thought that it happened during that role safety,
9:37 am
but when it happened during the previous school that has been and it happens now again. so that is a sense that they are marked really um, being able to buy so that the mind and they stand is really listing. does that mean we need to be mindful of that before these mindless violence? him? this guy would expect you to show him this whole problem is created by the government. i mean the best kind of set to be uh, previously doing the previous quote and then which state present 2018. and then suddenly it was brought back and reintroduced. and before this event started was to dot donald deadly. they were really going to, they were in give me that they were bullied by the rhetoric. somebody prime minister rhetoric, but law minister and so forth. and then, you know, it just went out of control. yeah. see, rhonda,
9:38 am
i saw you reacting to what bosher was saying that looked like you wanted to jump in, so please go ahead. yeah, it's good to know. at least you mean that the sports or, or the go double. when people see the supreme court, you know, change the numbers drastically, but i mean the boxes say that it's so cute when they shall know many other factors not going to be just for the whole going to really, but the kind of, you know, oh, i forgot the, this video of it probably was the use of the stairs and facing the know the highest level of unemployment. but at the same time it's, you see the entire group of people like to visit the book, the sort of high level of corruption, slightly money. because that doesn't the big, the big, you know, they are, you're completely dying anything. but in the, you know, in the, in the nation i'm getting the job so, so change, you know, really got a onset of tactful. and also for the, again, the,
9:39 am
the elections will tell you that the cds didn't. so she was very happy about the many, 1st of all, those were very disappointed. and on this election year in the previous election. so you know, the, the, the, uh, the, some, the, and the form that you need that why are they local guys do things they've done, but the, it's not the poster of the reaction by the guy who was on piece to the didn't is very unfair to so to the very day to get you with this and then the very high having to be the government to, you know, try for big job. so all that is g, b, i, this is a very, very disciplined and posted situation on the street, right. it sounds to me as though you and more bosher are, are saying that these protests that may have started out as against the quote, a system that perhaps they have coalesced around an anti government message. would you say that these now have become anti government demonstrations?
9:40 am
i would think so. i certainly would think so because it hasn't been the beauty. i mean, there were many of the small, you know, incidents which were brought to light. but again, as i said, the, the addressing thing on the menu of the people will do it, the monday will completely not do not. so i think this was back particular moment. then in the all the big book, just, you know, it was really after the dislike someone from your perspective will the student protesters be satisfied with this decision from the supreme court? is it enough that there will just be a reform of the quote a system or did they want to see it completely abolished the thank you very much. so having me what i would say. busy that 1st of all, the supreme gold has to say a 10 to the people very explicitly that what do they mean by these?
9:41 am
because the supreme court do tires the high code division in the boss aid a granted the system to be uh, reinstated. and then now the appellate division is saying, it was a completely different way, but at the same time, it is also giving the opportunity to the government that if the government wants it can give it a den. i mean, what about they wanted to do it because system they can exercise their uh, distribution. so in that case, in water handy result in bothering the government to make it solid decision and yeah, and it should cause he knows about men, remains in office. then you don't know because the same book, but in 2018 they publicly declared that to be part of the system will be abolished and it was reinstated. i mean we're using be something called the dish on
9:42 am
. so i need to say it is. busy the, the people have the various high of a distressed. busy the duty chevy because of these absence of independence and we can also. busy uh, both sides may need examples that need to do the chevy as they own is not independent. so in this case i'm, i don't think that the people and the but testers, in general, we be drafting the boat assuming, and that we bring the boat us to an end. so mind if i could also just ask you what are some of the other demands from the student leaders in this protest movement so far? the personal lender, they have a some a, a just specific demands of a that the people that lead involved in keeping the best jobs they should be identify. busy and investigated,
9:43 am
and that includes the members of the law enforcement agencies, the members of the learning parties, student putting in particular, the bottom of this chapter league who is called the police became a to a, to be male or female. a. the testers very bitterly. we'd be shopping bl. busy bl. busy to weapons and bugs of items as they also demanded that were at the beginning that has been released by the abutment has to be ended. and. busy a complete bold has to be there and the, the, to detain, people has to be released. and all the decatur cases that has been there, it has to be resolved so that they have a lot of other events on, on that. and of course be living because the system to the minimum, like according to the constitution, a line we'd be the, the realistic requirement on the uh,
9:44 am
the people who deserve the closest and not according to the relationship with that particular group of people who move bosher, of protesters are now also demanding the resignation of she has seen a how much pressure is she currently under and, and what does this turmoil mean for the prospect of her longer term rule? so i mean, the, that a group of people, that a groups in the society, they have been fighting this concern for a while. i think what this quote on moving to has done is that a kind of under beam of the legitimacy crisis for the prime minister here. because quite a read them to that reaction of the government of this products that that, that by calling them logic artists which is very detail literally darman kind of under being in the next. and i'm a man or in the state. any man. yeah,
9:45 am
it goes back to the history. obama says independence wire and effectively shows too many products. stars from the video that i have a is that this prime minister is my prime minister for every one which she needed to show that, you know, she's in the prime minister for everyone, including the people who was defending open the on. so that is displayed you do is a price is i think it, which is going to run deep in this society even though uh, the whole thing is about friends about these type of chrome. we need to, i'm the beam that there are like over a 100 and tardy people that want them, you know, they have families, they have, they are relative sosa and, and, and why does social connections? what really happened to those dates? we don't even know. and this sense of grievances is fading problem mandate in
9:46 am
comp, which is full of the young people. if you look into the demographics of bottom of is as sweet of the books. so say that you know, that a lot of people are unemployed and also that i've been the most people in my life. this didn't belong before my due. 71 was my biggest gauguin as being a and you know, big it is a, it is a, it is a, it is a, it is the finding what the nation, the state and state is important. but i, it is quite a, it is quite painful to see that if someone at press the says they're lazy to minute, right? to protest they will be, i didn't defied as someone who acted against they start doing the 71. why them? you know, that's why them that'd be what is the point of the one that at the after feet of independence. so we should, we should confess, our time in a do you mind me
9:47 am
a lot of defend, rebuilding and progressing the country. so have so that when says or be a problem for some time and for a long time. and finally, i want on there being that the videos i've seen be stead alternatives have to have lost their lady domestic to the way that the products that really didn't chat about and show respect to the police anymore. that's really problematic. so what this state is doing now, they are so forcefully starting trying, investigating fia, and which got which kind of which kind of acted as in washington to in the, i'm sorry to interrupt you. it's just that i, i do see is for ryder and she's reacting to what you're saying. so i want to give her a chance to, to jump in as well. but, but also sure, i want to ask you about the fact that there's, there's soldiers on the streets, there's a nationwide curfew. it's been in place communications blackouts. they're also
9:48 am
growing calls for. she can't seem to take accountability. do you think that's going to happen because my gosh, it was just saying that she and her government that they are having a legitimacy crisis. i mean, how do you see this playing out? i did this and i just recently just stuck with all the will. so of 9 point did mine, but i've been thought it was one of the, uh, the, the magazine. did i get this as deep and, you know, the sort of thing that they missed at the bottom. the step above what has happened at the ve, the address usually just changes it so, so strongly and of course resignation of the minister and, you know, basically accountability the suspect may change this to the folder issue that they gave. these is what they have a very, very exasperated with the, the back about the movie beloved stuff. yes. well, i would have done one does have many days. do you see how the, your,
9:49 am
the possible this is? do you do this drive the noise in the process of doing your speed nation in asia? so from there, the way that you do the economic condition. so really the, the total cut me, the spectrum i'm, it's almost all the, all this, if you have to be a piece of i'm, it's all of the above the domain. this barbara kind of says, so ship of the media and the signal society. and uh, yeah, the, the induce activity is actually be the very, very low, low 6 in the bottom of the heck. well, can you just about whether you will still need this 5 that receive power. this one has use everything possibly to that i do the any, was any after 11 bt alignment themselves with the flow for the ball community. so all of that is, i think is, you know, technical part of the boys that you see just on the streets. i think that's a valid point that you know, they must be able to go because it's of the stuff you just the formation to be just
9:50 am
the so that they will be linked to face the video to see if you saw, if you see something fairly popped up on some dust and maybe some videos to what kind of so you know, measure that may be used, but clearly the government was a logging it open to it. i know that this for this time they will have the shots that they use. it will try to control it to get us to go to the other test which community was not working. is i'm on a, do you believe there's going to be growing calls for the chair for saying that to resign and, and do you think that that is a, a scenario that is in any way possible given the current climate and by the dash of course is it only be a call, it is the call of this our any unit to see. so you can see now and i guess the, uh, for example, how do we track ship? i've seen that when there have been over 740 the buildings as doing that routine seems january 29th, 2009. that nearly $3000.00 extrajudicial executions under share custody about. and
9:51 am
none of these cases have been investigated. busy the victims have given an universe of access to justice in the country, and then you look at to be not a state actors, violence like these ruling parking student wings and the other booms. they're talking people all the time. and this is, the state is very systematically using these forces. then you'll see the did the class the best as a chicken. so, you know, as a stablish exit like a russian, although only got a system that the couple of bits of people as businessman of the companies big drive, all the institutions as many as possible are now the government bank, for example, i founded by bucks and lemme views that has been the target has to come under their control. so and then you um this is incentivizing the population. for example, i don't todd the 1000000 people who have been 18 years old building do they came up
9:52 am
to see that they have never given a chance to custody a boat. at least see that according to the ban, let this blow up to start as dukes information. there have been 2500000, 890000 unemployed people educated on implied people in, in bangladesh. and the, you're a big guy. the apartment rate is over 80 percent, so that includes the share costume having water, but the block meant that people have talked about shape as we know. you also need to see the picture, white fairly that way that there has been, any us this event i'll be brought back in just a lot sold is aptitude that it has any system of political or comfortable to do. so if the, i'm sorry, is it no, ben chick casino style is all the and she must go as immediately as possible. then what i see people are demanding at the moment. washer. um, dozens of student leaders. active is not positioned. figures have been arrested.
9:53 am
how much has that exacerbated the situation of that exhilarated situation quite badly because you know, this one, as i mentioned before, our feet has been the deep tune. soft pressing open young body does like it, based on that situation. if it does bound to happen on to, you know, some day and um, and people that, you know, there's the reaction of the students up. so feel, list, sofa that kind of will aggravate does. he doesn't find that. and i think what is going to they play this is that there is no just if it gets on of one party, people being dead over a do you mind that you know, the student wanted that free ever access to the government? so i've just jumped best as simple as that, right. and that's the jewish and lead to something that shows that, you know,
9:54 am
this is incapacity of managing s that you may call me back on it man a lot. and by others is a small country deal going to take everybody say a huge country population wise and the way and the economy and everything is being shut down. i think, you know, those at least and those repression on the. ready students are going to uh, lean, got it from from this point forward. so rather, um, critics have describe the last election in bangladesh. the checks i've seen a one as a sham. the opposition, along with dash boycotted the vote. they accused her government of corruption. they accused her government of suppressing descent. what is all this done when it comes to she has seen a standing in the international community. oh, you know some oh spots. maybe it's in the i think they have pretty much the full
9:55 am
days of these have. so you can do or say so the, you know, here's the issue, but again, so far the, all the states i can solve, i don't think they have, uh, they have the, some concerns before the election thinks advising me, pull some action rumbles back to see that locked in the me are making any phone support that's, that's, i mean, i don't think that's out the maturity. i mean, it says, you know that these film there. yes. and that's the price for it all squared. make sure they have, you saw the quality of the box, but when they had the they should be i was trying to ensure that of my default to feed the collection should be had. but when i did. busy the case, i didn't see any who did the come out. so he saw the again, some of the patients and figure out are we only have a couple of minutes left, but let me just ask you, um, do you think that we could start seeing any anti indias sentiment? and finally there's i ask because the public believes that india remain shake, has seen the strongest backer. so does this start taking
9:56 am
a turn into anger also be express towards india. wholesale actually did see the social media most looked at 5 o'clock this afternoon and they didn't pick up any of them for you know, that that was from the clinton never. they want to buy the, the federal government. ringback organizational databases and that kind of thing. but you know, we know the close proximity of the other stuff that has sort of a relation to the community share that they can do. so i don't anything doesn't, it's not just, no, i'm going to be seeing that in the box to the the some of the people that will be digging 5 minutes so she can see that it there. so. busy they could do the background in depth because of the approximate duty looking to this is not go to the party that didn't desk to keep the very close the problem 1970 on, on drugs. and that's certainly an every time something is wrong because it didn't sit long. so you know the property got lots. welcome to the you'd love to get lots
9:57 am
to leave and different men in the section. is that the wrong? all right, well we have run out of time, so we're going to have to leave the conversation there. thanks so much to all of our guest washer hudson mama a strep was i'm on and 3 rod at data and thank you to for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website up 0 dot com. and for further discussion, go to our facebook page at facebook dot com, forward slash age and side story. you can also turn the conversation on x r handle is ad. adrian said, story from him, how much is human the whole team here, bye. for now, the security concerns and political uncertainty, or just some of the issues facing the organizers of the 2024 olympic games in paris . as millions turned their attention to friends with the whole nation, be ready to welcome the world on july, the 26 stay without
