Protests started again in Bangladesh, now students are demanding resignation of this leader

Sheikh Hasina had to leave the country and come to India after violent protests in Bangladesh a few months ago. After Sheikh Hasina left the country, there was large-scale violence in Bangladesh and minorities, especially Hindus, were targeted. Bangladesh interim government chief Mohammad Yunus has been claiming for a long time that the situation is normal. Meanwhile, Bangladesh students have started protesting again. Now the student organization has demonstrated in Dhaka on Tuesday and demanded the removal of President Mohammad Shahabuddin from the post.

What are the students demanding?

A major student organization that led protests against the Sheikh Hasina government in Bangladesh a few months ago demonstrated in Dhaka and demanded the removal of President Mohammad Shahabuddin from office. The protesting students said that the President is an ally of fascism. He was in favour of genocide. We demand his resignation.

There is a twist in Sheikh Hasina’s resignation.

Last week, Bangladesh President Mohammad Shahabuddin gave an interview to a Bangla daily. In this interview, President Shahabuddin said that he had no documentary evidence that Sheikh Hasina had resigned from the post of Prime Minister before leaving the country amid massive protests led by students in August.

Demand to abolish the constitution

On Tuesday, a group of protesters staged a sit-in at the Dhaka University campus and called for the formation of a ‘revolutionary government’ by abolishing the Constitution. The protesters demanded the resignation of the President and a ban on the political activities of Sheikh Hasina’s party Awami League and its allies. The protesters also marched towards the President’s official residence ‘Bangabhaban’.
