Joy, who served as an official adviser to the former prime minister until Monday, said in an interview with a British public service broadcaster's Newshour program that Sheikh Hasina had been contemplating resignation since Sunday and had left the country for her safety following pressure from her family.

Sheikh Hasina's removal as Bangladesh PM amid scenes of violent protests have sparked discussions about foreign interference behind the political turmoil.

As Sheikh Hasina, a democratically elected head of Bangladesh fled the country, Indian 'liberals' sought to instigate similar protests in India by casting aspersions on the country's democratic indicators.

Plumes of smoke inside the Bangladesh Parliament building can also be seen in some of the videos.

On Monday, August 5, Sheikh Hasina resigned from the post of Prime Minister of Bangladesh ending her 15 years in power.

The Delhi police have also increased security outside the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport and the Bangladesh High Commission in Chanakyapuri.

Amid the political chaos, Bangladesh's Army Chief Waker-uz-Zaman announced that he would help in the formation of the 'interim government.'

Hundreds of protesters stormed the Bangaldesh PM's residence shortly after Sheikh Hasina fled the country amidst ongoing protests.

It must be mentioned that the protests began as part of anti-quota agitation in June but have now metamorphosed into an anti-government demonstration.

Hindu minorities are being selectively targeted by Islamists under the garb of civil disobedience and non-cooperation with the Sheikh Hasina government.
