Sheikh Hasina has been in power for 15 years
I will continue to play my role as RD. Wajid is the regional director of the World Health Organization for South-East Asia. Bangladesh is facing an unprecedented political crisis after Sheikh Hasina, who was in power for the last 15 years, suddenly resigned as Prime Minister and left the country amid weeks of violent protests against the controversial reservation system.
what is the matter
Bangladesh President Mohammad Shahabuddin dissolved the parliament on Tuesday and appointed Nobel Prize winner Mohammad Yunus as the head of the interim government. Let us tell you that the students of the country were protesting in the capital Dhaka since July against reservation in government jobs in Bangladesh. Gradually the movement took a widespread form. The movement became very fierce and violent in no time.
There were protests in the month of July as well
More than 200 people were killed in the protests in July. The movement took hold again in August. About 100 people were killed last Sunday. Last month itself, Sheikh Hasina had deployed the army to deal with this movement, which is why the movement in July was not affected much. Police have confirmed that more than 20 people were killed in the protest on Monday.
