Bangladesh Nationals Return Home After Sheikh Hasina Resigns Amid Protests
Jalpaiguri (West Bengal) [India], August 5: Many Bangladesh nationals returned to their country via ICP Fulbari on the India-Bangladesh border in West Bengal’s Jalpaiguri. This occurred after Sheikh Hasina resigned as the Prime Minister of Bangladesh and left her residence in Dhaka amid massive protests.
The operation of Shahjalal International Airport in Bangladesh will remain suspended for six hours, according to a press release from Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) around 6:00 pm on Monday.
Bangladesh Army chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman will soon hold a discussion with representatives of students and teachers, as disclosed in a notice from ISPR.
Protests and incidents of vandalism were reported from the streets of Dhaka. Visuals showed people ransacking Sheikh Hasina’s official residence and taking away eatables. Protesters also stormed the parliament building and took items from there. Fires were set at Dhanmondi’s Shudha Sadan, and the residence was vandalized.
Protestors also vandalized the residence of the chief justice, with people climbing the boundary wall and causing damage inside.
