Bangladesh Prime Minister Resigns Amid Protests

Following the dramatic resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina amid escalating protests in Bangladesh, the Indian government has reached out to the country's military leadership, urging for peace and stability. Hasina fled to India as violence intensified, resulting in over 100 deaths and thousands of arrests, with schools and universities closed. Irene Khan, the UN special rapporteur, emphasized the army's challenging role in ensuring a peaceful transition and accountability for recent human rights violations. The army chief, General Waker-Uz-Zaman, has been tasked with maintaining order during this turbulent period and is expected to address the nation regarding the situation. In light of the unrest, the military is committed to supporting the populace and upholding human rights.
