Dhaka: BanglaFact, fact-checking and media research team of Press Institute Bangladesh (PIB), has identified the claim of facilitating special quota to the July fighters and their families in the Dhaka University admission tests as wrong and intentional.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the DU authority, in a recent Deans Committee meeting, has made decisions to assist the July-fighters and their family members by providing them with economic assistance if they fulfill and qualify all the criteria of DU admission tests.
Earlier, a DU press release noted that enlisted July-fighters and their families will specially be facilitated in the undergraduate admission tests of the 2024-25 academic session and wife, son, or daughters will have the priority among the family members of the July fighters.
A group of Awami leaning activists are purposefully spreading rumors misinterpreting this version and labeling the facility as quota for the July-fighters and their families, as BanglaFact said.
Citing the DU’s vice chancellor, BanglaFact noted that the July martyrs, fighters, and their families may receive economic assistance only during the 2024-25 academic session. Deans’ committee and syndicate will decide this.
