Sheikh Hasina

Amid demands for the ouster of Sheikh Hasina, the Bangladeshi Prime Minister had called for an intense crackdown on the demonstrators.

At least 90 people lost their lives while numerous others have been injured as the student protest has intensified across Bangladesh by the non-cooperation movement announced by the Anti-Discrimination Students Movement on Sunday

The protestors, who were earlier demanding revocation of quota and now seeking justice for the 200 odd-men who died in the previous agitation, have demanded resignation of PM Sheikh Hasina.

A careful scrutiny of the 15-point directives issued by the 'student protesters' reveals their ultimate agenda: to destroy Bangladesh’s economy and turn it into a bankrupt nation like Pakistan.

On Saturday, Sheikh Hasina called for a meeting with the senior teachers, college principals and the Vice-Chancellors of public and private universities in Bangladesh.

From July 17, Jamaat-e-Islami, along with Al Qaeda-connected BNP perpetrated countrywide mayhem by hijacking student’s protests demanding reform in quota system in government jobs.

Following the countrywide mayhem in Bangladesh, media commentaries are already questioning the organisational capabilities of the ruling Awami League.

Although the Awami League government has succeeded in foiling the attempt of the BNP-Jamaat nexus to capture power by unseating Sheikh Hasina, the coming days may bear much harder challenges as BNP-Jamaat is adamantly looking to return to power.

'Razakars' were a paramilitary force formed by the Pakistan Army to oppose the independence movement in Bangladesh.

A spokesman for one of the student groups stated that the protests in Bangladesh would continue.
