A delegation of the protesters also went to the prime minister’s Office to submit a memorandum to press home their demand of cancelling the admission tests for question paper leak and retaking it with a fresh set of question papers.
They could not meet the prime minister, however submitted the memorandum to the designated officer at PMO, Arif said.
The protesters gathered at Central Shaheed Minar at around 10:00am. At around 12:30pm they brought out a huge procession and marched towards Shahbagh. Police created a barricade putting several layer of barbed-wire fence across the street but the students proceeded to Shahbagh intersection removing the barricade.
