Last Tuesday (30 July), the HC bench of Justice Mustafa Zaman Islam and Justice SM Masud Hossain Dolon expressed their shame over the deaths and violence that occurred during the quota reform demonstrations,adding,"None of us are doing our constitutional duty." The bench said, "What the police will do is clearly stated in the Code of Criminal Procedure [CRPC]. But none of us are doing our constitutional duty. We are ashamed of the violence and deaths of people during the anti-quota movement."</p>

The High Court denies petition to ban shooting during protests

<p>In recent years, our leader has issued several decrees that leave many of us scratching our heads. These decisions seem to show a significant disconnect from the realities faced by the people. Below, we explore ten of the most absurd decrees that highlight this gap.</p><h2>Mandatory Morning Exercises</h2><p>One of the most puzzling decrees is the requirement for all citizens to participate in mandatory morning exercises. While promoting health is good, forcing everyone to exercise at 6 AM daily seems excessive. Many people have different schedules and responsibilities.</p><h3>Restrictions on Internet Usage</h3><p>Another decree limits the amount of time people can spend on the internet. The leader believes that too much internet usage is harmful. However, this overlooks the fact that many people rely on the internet for work, education, and staying connected with loved ones.</p><h2>Uniform Dress Code</h2><p>The introduction of a uniform dress code for all citizens is another strange decision. People are now required to wear specific colors and styles of clothing, regardless of personal preference or cultural significance. This move has stifled individual expression and creativity.</p><figure id="figure-we2uzejbh5lzf3cjbt"><img id="we2uzejbh5lzf3cjbt" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1526140160975-3cf5c6b28a93?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxMHx8dW5pZm9ybSUyMGRyZXNzfGVufDB8fHx8MTcyMjc0NzQ0MHww&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="uniform dress" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1526140160975-3cf5c6b28a93?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxMHx8dW5pZm9ybSUyMGRyZXNzfGVufDB8fHx8MTcyMjc0NzQ0MHww&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></figure><h3>Ban on Foreign Music</h3><p> all foreign music. This decree disregards the diverse tastes of the population and the global nature of today's music industry. Many people feel that this limits their cultural exposure and entertainment options.</p><h2>Curfew for Adults</h2><p>A curfew for adults has been imposed, requiring everyone to be indoors by 9 PM. This decree does not consider the needs of people who work late or have evening commitments. It also affects social and recreational activities, reducing the quality of life for many.</p><figure id="figure-05l669049ulzf3ckyf"><img id="05l669049ulzf3ckyf" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1718375505752-376aeef4a7c7?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxOHx8Y3VyZmV3JTIwZW5mb3JjZW1lbnR8ZW58MHx8fHwxNzIyNzQ3NDQyfDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="curfew enforcement" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1718375505752-376aeef4a7c7?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxOHx8Y3VyZmV3JTIwZW5mb3JjZW1lbnR8ZW58MHx8fHwxNzIyNzQ3NDQyfDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></figure><h3>Compuls and has been met with significant backlash.</h3><h3>Ban on Pet Ownership</h3><p>The leader has also banned pet ownership, claiming that pets are a distraction. This decree has caused heartbreak for many families who consider their pets part of their household. It has also led to an increase in abandoned animals.</p><h2>Prohibition of Spontaneous Gatherings</h2><p>Spontaneous gatherings of more than three people are now prohibited. This decree aims to control public order but disregards the social nature of humans. It has made it difficult for people to meet friends and family, impacting social bonds.</p><figure id="figure-9kyjww7c4etlzf3cmmp"><img id="9kyjww7c4etlzf3cmmp" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1529070538774-1843cb3265df?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxMnx8Z3JvdXAlMjBtZWV0aW5nfGVufDB8fHx8MTcyMjc0NzQ0NHww&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="group meeting" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1529070538774-1843cb3265df?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxMnx8Z3JvdXAlMjBtZWV0aW5nfGVufDB8fHx8MTcyMjc0NzQ0NHww&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></figure><h3>Mandatory Nationalistic Chanting</h3><h3>&lt;p</h3>
