Noncooperation: Protesters roll out 15 points

The Anti-Discrimination Student Movement yesterday issued a 15-point instruction for people so the non-cooperation movement it has announced is successful.
Earlier in the day, it made a single-point demand — the resignation of the prime minister and her cabinet members — at a rally at the Central Shaheed Minar.
Asif Mahmud, an organiser of the movement, later announced the instructions. They are as follows:
1. Don’t pay taxes.
