Sheikh Hasina

On Monday, August 5, Sheikh Hasina resigned from the post of Prime Minister of Bangladesh ending her 15 years in power.

The Delhi police have also increased security outside the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport and the Bangladesh High Commission in Chanakyapuri.

Amid the political chaos, Bangladesh's Army Chief Waker-uz-Zaman announced that he would help in the formation of the 'interim government.'

Hundreds of protesters stormed the Bangaldesh PM's residence shortly after Sheikh Hasina fled the country amidst ongoing protests.

It must be mentioned that the protests began as part of anti-quota agitation in June but have now metamorphosed into an anti-government demonstration.

Amid demands for the ouster of Sheikh Hasina, the Bangladeshi Prime Minister had called for an intense crackdown on the demonstrators.

At least 90 people lost their lives while numerous others have been injured as the student protest has intensified across Bangladesh by the non-cooperation movement announced by the Anti-Discrimination Students Movement on Sunday

The protestors, who were earlier demanding revocation of quota and now seeking justice for the 200 odd-men who died in the previous agitation, have demanded resignation of PM Sheikh Hasina.

A careful scrutiny of the 15-point directives issued by the 'student protesters' reveals their ultimate agenda: to destroy Bangladesh’s economy and turn it into a bankrupt nation like Pakistan.

On Saturday, Sheikh Hasina called for a meeting with the senior teachers, college principals and the Vice-Chancellors of public and private universities in Bangladesh.
