He made the statement after the Maghrib prayer break, before placing the Bogura University Bill, 2026 in parliament.
The minister also proposed that the postponed Physics, Logic and Accounting examinations under the Chattogram Education Board could be rescheduled in a way that allows the Physics examination to be held on the same day as the Physics examination for the other education boards.
He said the proposal came in light of the objections raised over the Physics examination.
Earlier, a short video of a call recording went viral on social media in which Milon is reportedly heard comparing students demanding the postponement of the ongoing HSC examination to broiler chickens.
