"The Awami League was ousted by the student-people's uprising on 5 August. The party’s student wing Chattra League had controlled the Dhaka University campus during their 15-year rule. Chhatra League did not let Shibir operate on campus openly. They even beat many students on suspicion of involvement in Shibir and forced them to leave the halls. Chhatra League, however, was driven out of the campus during the movement for reform to the quota system in government jobs in July."
