Government employees have continued their protests and work stoppage at the Secretariat in opposition to the recently enacted ordinance amending the Public Service Act. Speaking to staff inside the Secretariat, it was learnt that they had begun their protests with a procession in the morning. Around 11am, ABM Abdus Sattar, president of the BNP-aligned Anti-Discrimination Employees Unity Forum, attempted to enter the premises by car but was turned away by security personnel. This is a black law that would allow the government to dismiss any public official without notice.”The protests inside the Secretariat are being led by the Bangladesh Secretariat Officers and Employees Coordinated Council. Unless the home affairs advisor comes here and presents a concrete roadmap to remove these fascist bureaucrats, we’re not leaving.
