State Minister for Information and Broadcasting Mohammad Ali Arafat urged protestors to halt their demonstrations following the Supreme Court's status quo order maintaining the 2018 government circular on quotas.

Arafat highlighted on Facebook that the Supreme Court's order essentially restored the government's quota circular, urging protestors to avoid causing public suffering.

The Appellate Division issued a four-week status quo on the quota issue, setting a hearing date after this period. The order followed a hearing on petitions challenging the High Court's judgment, with arguments from both state and petitioner representatives.
