Job quota
It refers to Mr. Mainul Quadery's letter entitled "Quota in government job" published in the May 6, 2006 issue of The Daily Star. I cannot really support the views of Mr. Mainul. According to him, quota in govt jobs is making the job market worse for the job-seeker. But I don't think so. At present, very few govt. jobs can be obtained without going through a corrupt process.
On the other hand, the quota system for freedom fighters' families and women in general are based on certain considerations. I hope you agree with me that we, the new generation or the people of Bangladesh, should show due respect to our freedom fighters. This quota system gives an opportunity to the wards of the freedom fighters to get jobs.
Moreover, if this quota system is abolished do you think that you can have a good job market overnight?
