Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina Resigns Amidst Protest
niIn a dramatic turn of events, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned and reportedly left the country following a series of intense protests over job quota reforms. The protests have resulted in significant violence, with clashes between police and demonstrators leading to at least six fatalities.
According to sources, Hasina and her sister have departed Dhaka for a “safer place” and are expected to arrive in India soon. The Daily Star reported that Hasina’s official residence, Gono Bhaban, was stormed by protesters around 3 p.m. on Monday. Despite her intentions to deliver a speech addressing the crisis, she was unable to do so due to the escalating situation.
The resignation marks a significant moment in Bangladesh’s political landscape, as the country grapples with widespread civil unrest.
