The interim government will accept any logical demand of the students, but no unjustified demand will at all be entertained, Education Adviser Dr Wahiduddin Mahmud said today.

"I have urged students and other groups to present their legitimate demands. The just demands will be fulfilled and there will be no need to be on the roads," he stated during a press briefing.The adviser was responding to a question regarding ongoing clashes between students of different colleges while speaking at the post ECNEC meeting briefing at NEC auditorium.

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus chaired the meeting held at the NEC conference room.

Wahiduddin, who also holds the planning portfolio, said many such movements have stopped already after he accepted the demands as logical with assurance to solve those in a justified way.

"When I confirmed that certain demands were reasonable, we began working toward appropriate resolutions," he said.

"There are so many organisations in Dhaka who are often seen by the roads or block the roads to press home their demands. How will these problems be solved? I alone won't be able to solve the problems, but in principle the just demands will be solved," he said.

However, he has made it clear that not all demands will be entertained, "Some demands are not legitimate, and we cannot accept them under any circumstances."

"If these protests lead to public disorder, such as blocking rail lines or attacking passengers, public sentiment will turn against the protesters," the adviser warned.

"So we are in a favourable position that after some time people will resist them. And already people have started doing that," he added.
