An somebody close to Ms. Sheikh Hasina attested to this. She desired to have a speech recorded. However, the source stated that she was unable to get the chance to do so.

At 4:00 p.m., Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman spoke to the nations and announced the formation of a transitional government. “All the killings will result in justice being served.” Have faith in the troops; we’ll cooperate,” he stated.In addition, the Chief asked everyone to keep silent and mentioned that they had meetings with other political groups, including as Jamat-e Islami and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party.

Around three o’clock in the afternoon today, demonstrators broke through the police blockade and the curfew to gain entry into the Prime Minister’s mansion by opening the Gono Bhavan gates. Thousands of individuals who had gathered in Shahbagh in the capital are now making their way to Gono Bhavan.

Protesters from various parts of the capital are observed storming Gono Bhavan, smashing glass doors, toppling furniture, and removing various objects. The Awami League party office in Dhanmandi was also set on fire by the demonstrators.

Students who are leading the movement against her, under the banner Students Against Discrimination, started their “Long March to Dhaka” with the express purpose of deposing her one day after 94 people were killed in a violent demonstration demanding her resignation.

In an attempt to defuse the protest, the government completely shut down the internet, including broadband services, outlawed Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, and all other Meta platforms. It even proclaimed a three-day vacation.

When the government proposed quotas for families of liberation fighters in government positions, the students’ protests got underway in July. The protests persisted even after the Supreme Court’s Appellate Division overturned the judgment because Ms. sheikh Hasina called the students who were demonstrating “razakar” (traitor).

 

How did the protest get out of control?

Student organizations’ protests against reserved quotas in government positions last month resulted in at least 150 deaths and thousands of injuries.

Leading the most recent protests was the group “Students Against Discrimination,” which spearheaded the job quota demonstrations last month.

Following the Supreme Court’s July 21 elimination of the majority of quotas, the reform movement came to a halt. But, last week, demonstrators returned and demanded that Hasina issue a public apology for the violence, restore internet access, reopen college and university campuses, and free those who had been detained.

Over the weekend, when protesters demanded justice for those killed last month, the demonstrations turned into a campaign calling for Hasina’s removal.

The students’ group demanded that Hasina step down as part of a one-point national non-cooperation movement that would begin on Sunday.
