The changes come after Ansar members clashed with students at the Secretariat area last night (25 August).
Ansar members had blocked the Secretariat and blocked those inside from coming out.
A Co-ordinator of Anti-Discrimination Student Movement Hasnat Abdullah went live on facebook and informed that he along with some other co-ordinators had been confined at the Secretariat since yesterday noon by the Ansar members.
Following his live video, many students went to the area to rescue them. The students were attacked by the Ansar members at first, but later the students chased them away from there.
Ansar members have been demanding for the nationalisation of their jobs since the fall of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina.
