Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Resigns Amid Deadly Protests

Following weeks of violent protests, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned and fled the country. The 76-year-old leader reportedly left for India’s eastern state of West Bengal, accompanied by her sister, amid growing unrest over a controversial quota system.

The quota system, which reserves 30% of government jobs for relatives of veterans who fought in Bangladesh’s War of Independence in 1971, sparked massive protests that turned deadly. The government’s response, including a complete internet shutdown, failed to quell the unrest.

The army chief is expected to address the nation shortly, as the situation continues to unfold. The government’s verbal order to restore broadband internet on Monday morning did little to ease tensions.

Hasina’s resignation comes after weeks of protests, which have resulted in significant loss of life, making it one of the worst periods of violence since Bangladesh’s independence over five decades ago.

The circumstances surrounding Hasina’s departure remain unclear, with no official confirmation of her resignation or destination. However, reports suggest she is heading for Tripura, the capital of Agartala in India.
