Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned today and fled Dhaka by a helicopter after thousands of protesters stormed her palace. Protestors broke through the gates of Sheikh Hasina’s official residence, prompting her to flee the country by helicopter.
Sheikh Hasina landed at the Hindon airbase near Ghaziabad and is on her way to London, diplomatic sources have said. She was received by National Security Advisor Ajit Doval at the Hindon airbase.
Bangladesh’s army chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman said the military would form an interim government. At least 300 people were killed in more than a month of deadly protests. The protests escalated despite the scheme having been scaled back by Bangladesh’s top court.
