In a dramatic turn of events, Bangladesh’s Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has fled the country amid widespread unrest and protests. The situation erupted after a massive demonstration was organized by students and common citizens demanding justice and political reform.
The movement, dubbed “Let’s Go to Dhaka,” called for a significant show of strength and unity from the Bangladeshi public. Despite Sheikh Hasina’s imposition of a nationwide shutdown to suppress the demonstrations, millions defied the restrictions, flooding the streets and making their voices heard. The sheer scale of the protests led to a tense standoff between the government and its citizens.
In a dramatic escalation, protesters managed to breach the Ganabhaban, the Prime Minister’s official residence, further intensifying the crisis. Facing mounting pressure and escalating threats, Sheikh Hasina made the decision to leave the country. Reports confirm that she departed for Delhi by flight, seeking refuge outside Bangladesh.
This sudden departure marks a significant moment in Bangladesh’s political landscape, reflecting the deep-seated discontent among its populace and raising questions about the future direction of the country’s governance. As the situation continues to develop, both domestic and international observers will be watching closely to see how the conflict evolves and what impact it will have on Bangladesh’s political stability.
According to sources, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has provided shelter to Sheikh Hasina in India.
