The Anti-Discrimination Student Movement organizers are demanding the resignation of the current government. They also announced plans to initiate a non-cooperation movement starting 04 August 2024. Authorities in Bangladesh have announced a gradual easing of the curfew imposed after mass protests last week, allowing offices to open and some activity, and partially restoring telecommunication services. As casualties mounted and law enforcement struggled to contain the unrest, the Bangladeshi government on 20 July 2024 imposed a nationwide curfew and deployed military forces after violence broke out in Dhaka and other regions following student-led protests demanding reforms to the government's job quota system.
