Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled the country on Monday after violent clashes that left over 300 people dead.

The army – which has taken control to form an “interim government” gave her 45 minutes to step down.
Here are the key points:
Sheikh Hasina left in a military aircraft and is heading to an unspecified “safe space”.There are also reports that she may be headed to London but a stopover in Delhi is expected. Indian security agencies are monitoring a C-130 aircraft heading towards Delhi that is believed to be carrying the former Prime Minister and some members of her entourage.ft
According to news reports, she wanted to address the nation but the proximity of the violence meant her security detail vetoed the proposal. Sources say, her security team asked her to leave, and that “she did not find any time to prepare a speech”.
In a televised address to the troubled nation, Army chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman said the military will form an “interim government” and urged to protesters to stand down.
“There is a crisis. I have met Opposition leaders and we have decided to form an interim government to run this country. I take all responsibility and promise to protect your life and property. Your demands will be fulfilled. Please stop the violence,” he said.
