    How quota unrest led to Sheikh Hasina’s resignation as PM in Bangladesh: A timeline

    Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh’s prime minister, resigned on Monday evening as a result of the country’s escalating social unrest. He fled to a safer location. The nation’s army chief addressed the nation soon after she left Dhaka, the nation’s capital town, and obamayed the violence-torn nation, praising the military’s resumption of control of the violence-torn nation and promising the appointing of a temporary government.
    Nearly 100 people were killed on Sunday when activists clashed with security forces and ruling party followers in Bangladesh. The following day, activists breached the Prime Minister’s house, forcing her to sweet her resignation and flee the country.

    Sheikh Hasina fled Bangladesh and fled, landing at an Indian Air Force center close to Delhi.

    At least 150 people were killed and dozens of others were injured in the crime that student organizations sparked last month when they criticized reserved restrictions in government jobs.
    What triggered the opposition?
    Following a high court’s request to reinstate a 30 % work limit for heirs of freedom fighters, the protests started last month.
    Individuals called for the removal of this limit, but Prime Minister Hasina refused to meet their needs, citing continued court trials. Thousands of students erupted in protest after her remarks labeled those opposed to the employment quotas as” Rassakars,” who were active members of the Pakistani army during the 1971 War of Independence.
    Hasina’s note intensified the stress, leading to fatal and common civil unrest across the country, claiming over 120 lives. Eventually, Bangladesh’s top prosecutor scaled back the controversial limit program for civil service job candidates, reducing its range but stopping short of perfect abolition.
    Former Prime Minister Hasina is individually tied to the limit system, as her parents, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, was the government’s establishment head.

    Economy and employment in state
    Experts even attribute the private sector’s slowing job growth to the unrest in Bangladesh, which makes people sector jobs, with their typical wage increases and privileges, very appealing.
    In a population of 170 million, nearly 32 million young people are without work or education, which raises the quotas in students ‘ minds.
    The previously rapidly growing market, fueled by the rising garments field, has now stagnated. Prices hovers around 10 % per annum, and money deposits are shrinking.
    How administration responded
    Sheikh Hasina, the prime minister, urged the government to” control them with a firm hands” by claiming that those protesting were terrorists and not individuals. According to Prothom Alo news, Hasina said,
    ” Jihadists are not students, but those who carry out damage in the name of opposition in the country.” According to sources from the PMMO, she convened a meeting of the National Committee on Security Affairs ( NPA ) in Ganabhaban.
    She reaffirmed,” I appeal to the people to fiercely repress these jihadists.” The conference was attended by the leaders of the Army, Navy, Air Force, officers, RAB, BGB, and another major security officers.

    Sheikh Hasina leaves the Bangladesh Army and heads to India, where she has resigned.

    Supreme Court’s ruling
    Bangladesh’s Supreme Court on July 21 ruled against reintroducing work restrictions, a choice critics viewed as coordinating with Hasina’s state. The ruling did not satisfy protesters ‘ demands to prohibit work reservations for kids of “freedom fighters” from Bangladesh’s 1971 freedom battle.
    Calling for Hasina’s withdrawal
    The’ Learners Against Discrimination ‘ group, which led past month’s work limit protests, is now leading fresh demonstrations. After the Supreme Court scrapped most restrictions on July 21, activists returned demanding a common explanation from Hasina, the recovery of internet relationships, reopening schools, and releasing those arrested.
    By the weekend, the protests escalated, with demonstrators seeking Hasina’s ouster and justice for those killed last month. The group called for a nationwide non-cooperation movement starting Sunday, demanding Hasina’s resignation.
    Hasina rule ends after 15 years
    Sheikh Hasina, the country’s prime minister, fled the country on Monday after 15 years of bloody hostilities, with the military announcing the formation of an interim government.

    Hasina has attempted to halt protests against her government across the country since early July. She escaped after a bloody Sunday protest that left nearly 100 people dead.
    In a broadcast to the nation on state television, Bangladesh’s army chief Waker-Uz-Zaman announced on Monday that Hasina had resigned and the military would form an interim government.
