Bangladesh Protest News | What Happened At Sheikh Hasina’s Home Before She Resigned And Fled? | N18G

Sheikh Hasina did not want to resign as Bangladesh Prime Minister and wanted security forces to intensify the crackdown on nationwide protests. The security forces tried to explain to her that more force is not the answer. But the veteran leader did not budge. Then the officers spoke to Sheikh Hasina's sister Rehana in another room and urged her to convince the Prime Minister to step down. Rehana spoke to Hasina, but that did not help. At this point, Sheikh Hasina's son Sajeeb Wazed Joy stepped in. Based in the US, Joy spoke to his mother and managed to convince her to resign. The crowd of protesters was swelling, and intelligence inputs said the Prime Minister's official residence, may be stormed. Sheikh Hasina was given 45 minute to pack up. She wanted to record one last speech addressing the people of the country, but there was no time. Accompanied by sister Rehana, she left home. There was a short halt at Bangabhaban, the Bangladesh President's official residence, where she completed the resignation formalities. Around 2.30 pm, the ousted leader took off in a military aircraft, bringing the curtain down on her 15-year uninterrupted term.

From Bangladesh, here to respectfully and honestly provide context. I kindle urge everyone to read please. It will be much appreciated.
1) Let’s all acknowledge that sheikh hasina’s government was an autocratic government. She jailed and prosecuted almost all the opposition party and used BCL (Bangladesh Chatro League/ Bangladesh Student League) to commit all forms of atrocities for years. She has been in power for over 16 years and during this time, the country has been crippled with corruption at every level of government. Over the last decade, over 100 billion dollar have been laundered out of the country all while the economy was slowly collapsing.
2) The students started the peaceful protest last month against reserving 30% spots in all government jobs and public universities for the descendants of freedom fighters. Bear in mind, the existing quota system has already been grossly abused to favor giving positions to pro government goons aka Bangladesh Chatro league (BCL). So students were already being discriminated against and this just added insult to injury. In response to this peaceful protest, the police open fired and killed over 50 students in one day. The protests got even stronger and so did the killings by the police and BCL (Bangladesh Chatro League). BCL was openly firing on unarmed protestors under the protection of cops. Over the length of this protest over a thousand have been killed (75% of which were students) and over 7 thousand jailed. Helicopters were flying by while brush firing down. 10 children under the age of 10 died in their own homes and roofs because of this. The protest got even stronger. Sheikh Hasina, during this time, not only failed to take responsibility but called the protestors terrorists and rajakars.
3) Throughout the entire protest, students did their very best to be peaceful but as more children and students died, the anger of the people grew. Imagine your fellow brothers and sisters being shot indiscriminately just because they asked to be judged based on merit. Won’t you be angry? But even then, until sheikh Hasina resigned, students committed no violence on anyone. Unfortunately, things were about to change….
4) after sheikh Hasina resigned and everyone was celebrating, a group of people stormed the Gono bhaban (president’s house) and looted the place. They were also vandalizing local stores. But remember that this is a protest lead by students and many of the vandalizers were not students (evident from the videos). However, students quickly spread the word on the internet and volunteering groups started forming to bring back a lot of the stolen property and safeguard the existing government properties. Most people online shunned such behavior of vandalism as well and encouraged everyone to do the right thing.
5) later that night, we started hearing that temples were being attacked and minority stores were being attacked. Some of these attacks did indeed happen but we realized by cross checking that many of the pictures spreading on social media were recycled. Meaning some pictures from violence that took place in 2018 and 2022 were being reused as recent pictures of recent attacks. Screenshots (social media communication screenshots) also started circulating of Bangladesh Chatro League members directing attacks on local minorities and temples. The objective was to create a Muslim vs other religion situation and trigger unrest. Students were also immediate to take actions in this regard. They formed local groups to provide protection to religious monitors. Pictures, posts and calls of these groups providing protection to minorities circulated the internet. Muslims were protecting the temples and churches. It was a beautiful scene.
6) later at night, after the police that unjustly killed students got scared. They formed a coalition, accessed the armory and went on a March on the street. Nobody knew where they were going but they were shooting left and right on their way and we lost many fellow countrymen. A rumor also started circulating that these people were Indian RAW agents but everyone was asking for evidence for such claims, many even laughed it off. Ultimately, the raw rumors weee debunked.
7) Dear people, what we went through is a revolution. A Revolution to create an independent, corruption and violence free Bangladesh. Instability and violence are typical elements of a revolution but that moment of vulnerability doesn’t define a nation. We are in the process of forming an interim government today and will declare general elections soon. People have made one thing clear: no Bangladesh national party, no Jamaat and certainly no theocracy. We, the current generation are committed to creating a Bangladesh where people of all age, color, race and religion can live in peace. Will it be achieved in one day? No, but we are committed to it and we will protect our fellow brothers from any religious extremism. We want to be a proud nation like as well but we must be given the chance to rebuild. Please don’t define us by our lowest moments. It’s important to see the whole picture. Thank you for listening

I am glad she left Bangladesh safety. God only knows what would have happened if she got stuck there. She would have definitely be killed but not before being tortured for days.Scary.

Vandalism is in no way an answer; destroying will not all give a peaceful solution. Is attacking on the people of other religions - their men, particularly women (who are to be treated as Goddesses), innocent children - destroying, looting their movable snd immovable assets a right one in this civilised modern world?

India Government shoud।take immediate steps to save the Hindus residing in Bangladesh.
