Doors of Gono Bhaban open for protesting students: PM

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today called upon the agitating students to sit with her at Gono Bhaban to end violence centring the quota reform protest.

"Doors of Gono Bhaban are open. I want to sit with the agitating students and listen to them. I want no conflict," she said.

The prime minister made the remarks in a meeting with the central leaders of the Peshajibi Somonnoy Parishad (Professionals Coordination Council) at Gono Bhaban in the morning.

She also asked the authorities concerned to release the detained general students.

The prime minister assured of holding trial of each killing during the anti-quota protest.

"Trial of each of the killing must be held," she said.

"I am telling again that I still want to hold talks if the agitators want. They can come any time (to Gono Bhaban). If required, they can come with their guardians," she said.

She also announced cancelling the proposed, universal pension scheme "Prottoy" for universities, autonomous and state-owned organisations.
