Housing and Public Works Minister Ram Ubaidul Moktadir Chowdhury MP has commented that there is a need to reform the quota in government jobs at a logical level.

Ubaidul Moktadir said, "We think there is a need to preserve the quota." Also, the quotas which are unreasonably reserved, need to be rationalized. That is what we are working on and will do.

He said, 'quota is mentioned in the constitution. Quota is necessary for the advancement of backward communities.'

The minister also said, 'Freedom fighters do not need quota for themselves. Their children are also now out of quota. Now others will be given or not? The government will take the decision as per the instructions given by the court.

He urged the students to leave the agitation and concentrate on their studies.
