With the fall of the previous government, Bangladesh currently finds itself in a particularly precarious position, especially when it comes to rule of law. With cop shoppes around the nation finally coming back into operation, it is now more important than ever for the public to cooperate with law enforcement.Which is why yesterday's reported storming of the Secretariat by hundreds of students is such a disappointing development.
According to reports, hundreds of students stormed the Secretariat yesterday afternoon demanding the cancellation of the remaining Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) and equivalent exams, bypassing police barricades. The circumstances had reportedly deteriorated to the point where law enforcement stationed at the Secretariat gates had to take refuge in a safe area.
