The crisis in Bangladesh, which has been burning in the fire of protests since July, is now deepening. After massive protests, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned from her post. The protests that started against reservation in government jobs spread across the country and became more violent with the demand for justice to those killed in violent incidents and the resignation of Hasina. On Monday, protesters attacked Hasina's official residence, after which the PM had to leave the country. There are reports of her taking refuge in India.
Sheikh Hasina was the Prime Minister of the country for 15 consecutive years. She has held this post for the longest time in Bangladesh. 76-year-old Hasina took over her fifth term as Prime Minister in January this year. The opposition parties boycotted this election and alleged that the elections were not conducted in a fair manner. Hasina, the daughter of revolutionary Sheikh Mujibur, who made a significant contribution in getting independence to Bangladesh, has led rapid economic development in the country. Last year he promised to make Bangladesh a prosperous and developed country. However, according to government data, about 18 million youth are unemployed in the country.
