Around 4:00pm this afternoon, parents and teachers under the banner of “Udbigno Obhibhabok o Nagorik” gathered on the Press Club premises to hold a demonstration to protest against the detention of student leaders of the ongoing quota reform movement and attacks on them across the country.
They expressed concern over the attacks and the reported inaction of the law enforcers in the matter.
However, police foiled the gathering saying participants of any protest or demonstration would be detained immediately.
