Interim government to run Bangladesh after PM resigns, says army chief | BBC News

An interim government will be formed in Bangladesh after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled the country, the army chief has said.

Hasina is reported to have flown to India as thousands of demonstrators advanced towards her official residence.

The student protests began in July with calls to abolish civil service job quotas, but spiralled into demands for their PM to quit after 15 years in power.

Nearly 300 people are estimated have died in the violence so far.

I’m happy she’s resigned, but most times I’ve ever heard the words “interim government” said by an army official, it’s always become a dictatorship.

[Jamal-Ahmed]

No Hasina (AL), No Khaleda (BNP), Bangladesh deserves better

[fiancatto]

People saying it’s the second independence day for Bangladesh seem to forget that there were famines, coups, and counter-coups for years after independence. Hopefully, it won’t repeat this time.

[KaiumJamadder]

indian RAW's agents and sheikh hasina's amwai chatro league was behind the attacks on hindu people and other clashes around the country, but we all Muslim people and students are protecting all hindus and other religions people,
hindu, muslim, Christian, Buddhist we are all bangladeshi, we will protect each other and ourselves from now on

[MDZS]

Please for the love of god don’t let Bangladesh fall into the hands of Jamaat. We can’t let the country fall into the control of Islamists and regress like Pakistan! We have to do better with the dictator gone.

But after the resigned of PM Sheikh Hasina, some of the protesters burnt the house of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman which was in Dhaka.They looted house of parliament, even some of them attacked on the other protesters houses.
Today, they not just burnt that house they burnt the history of a country.
I don’t know what will be happened in future!!

Bangladesh is now independent from development.

[imrulkayes]

The Nobel laureate, Dr. Muhammad Yunus is the ideal choice for chief advisor of Bangladesh's interim government. Such a great decision by the student protest coordinators!

Why BBC has disabled commenting only in UK anti-muslim violence related reports?

[MiheerBrahme]

Army took over. Now that’s real democracy 😂

[MithunChandraDas-swqt]

Please help we 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😭😭

I am praying for international help. I am a Bangladeshi student. We all made the country free from dictatorship by anti-discrimination student movement. But today since the resignation of our Prime Minister of Bangladesh many blows are coming on our Hindu nation. Our houses are being set on fire, temples are being set on fire, temples are being vandalized by Hindu houses. Our mother and sister are not safe 😭😭😭, they are torturing us in different ways by entering the house 😭. That's why I want your help internationally to protect us. Please save our Hindu nation🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[architectemon]

Indian modi bahini collaborated with hasina trying to start civil war by dividing Hindu Muslim, don’t forget we are abided by nationalities not by religion, Hindu Muslim we are brothers don’t fall for this trap,

[NOHindu]

Bangladesh became independent for the second time 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

[gurnamgill]

They destroyed statue of mujib urr Rehman who struggled for Bangladesh freedom..this gives you an idea about how knowledgeable these so called student protesters were

[rossklatte]

People claiming political dissatisfaction as an excuse for Looting. Sounds like the U.S.A. Are there any liquor stores in Bangladesh?
