Bangladesh’s Political Future: Key Talks on Interim Government Formation Set for Today !

After a tenure of 15 years at the helm of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, often referred to as the ‘Iron Lady’, was compelled to resign and leave the country as widespread anti-government demonstrations reached a climax on Monday. The streets of Dhaka, which had experienced violence and fatalities for the preceding three weeks, erupted in celebration following her departure.

General Waker-Uz-Zaman, the chief of Bangladesh’s army, announced that a new interim government would be established shortly after discussions with political parties, excluding the former ruling party, Awami League. He assured that the violent crackdown, which resulted in over 300 fatalities, would come to an end and is scheduled to meet with student protest leaders today.

Hasina, who traveled to India aboard a military aircraft, is said to be considering seeking asylum in the United Kingdom. Nevertheless, her son, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, has dismissed these claims, stating that she does not intend to return to Bangladesh as well.
