Thousands of anti-government protesters take to Dhaka streets | VOA News

Thousands of people from students to rickshaw drivers protested in the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka Friday, vandalizing armored police vehicles and chanting anti-government slogans as they marched on the streets.

Student leaders rallied Bangladeshis on Saturday for a nationwide civil disobedience campaign as Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government weathered a worsening backlash over a deadly police crackdown on protesters.

Rallies against civil service job quotas sparked days of mayhem last month that killed more than 200 people in some of the worst unrest of Hasina's 15-year tenure.

Troop deployments briefly restored order, but crowds hit the streets in huge numbers after Friday prayers in the Muslim-majority nation, heeding a call by student leaders to press the government for more concessions.

I am a Bangladeshi. I live in abroad. I am really worried about my country. There is no internet connection in Bangladesh right now. Today, 85 people were killed by Bangladeshi Dictator Prime Minister Shekh Hasina. She is the most wanted criminal. She is doing genocide. We want her resignation. We want her Justice in International Criminal Court.

Please save Bangladeshi students
Please save Bangladesh.

Students and common people of Bangladesh have called for mass uprising. They have decided to continue this movement until the current dictator Hasina's government resigns or hands over power.

If anything happens in Bangladesh, we give a curfew, but why?

[farhanstack]

Today or tomorrow, God willing, we will make our country independent. There are no longer any obstacles. The ruling party has used Modi's tactics, which we have already overcome. If the so-called Bangladeshi army betrays the nation, because you know very well, they are all Prime Minister's people. I cannot predict what will happen. Nevertheless, God willing, the students and ordinary people of Bangladesh will free the country from Hasina's dictatorship and India's aggression.
Sincerely,
From Bangladesh.
