Sheikh Hasina, who just resigned as Bangladesh PM has landed at the Hindon Air Force base in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad – around 30 km from Delhi – Monday evening. Sheikh Hasina is expected to leave, almost immediately, to London, sources say.
Sources say Sheikh Hasina’s plane – a Bangladesh Air Force C-130 military transport – will be parked near the Indian Air Force’s C-17 and C-130J Super Hercules aircraft hangars.
“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,” the Army chief said.
Meanwhile, the Bangladesh Army, which gave Sheikh Hasina 45 minutes to resign after her government couldn’t control the violence, has taken charge. In a televised address Army chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman said the military will form an “interim government” and told protesters to stand down.
Earlier today in the day protesters broke into Gonobhaban – the Dhaka residence of the Prime Minister.
