Sheikh Hasina had to leave the country
Amid widespread protests in Bangladesh against the reservation system in jobs, Sheikh Hasina had to resign from the post of Prime Minister and she also had to leave the country. After Sheikh Hasina, Nobel Prize-winning economist Mohammad Yunus has been elected as the head of the interim government of Bangladesh. The newly formed interim government of Bangladesh has emphasized the need to maintain ‘balance’ in Dhaka’s relations with ‘big countries’.
Sheikh Hasina is in India
Sheikh Hasina is currently in India, which is drawing all kinds of reactions. Bangladesh Nationalist Party, a staunch rival of Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League party, has said that the former prime minister’s decision to stay in India is entirely hers and that of the Indian authorities. Senior BNP leader and party spokesperson Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury said, “Right now, she (Hasina) is wanted in Bangladesh for several crimes ranging from murders and forced disappearances to large-scale corruption.” Chowdhury said that it is “the decision of Hasina herself and the Indian government whether she should stay in the neighboring country or not.”
Student leaders get ministry
Meanwhile, it should also be noted here that student leader Nahid Islam, one of the main coordinators of the anti-reservation protests in Bangladesh, has been given the charge of the Ministry of Information Technology and Posts in the newly formed interim government of the country. Another prominent leader of the student movement, Asif Mahmud, has been given the charge of the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
