The prime minister of Bangladesh has fled the country for a "safer place" amid violent protests demanding her resignation.

Thousands of Bangladeshi protesters stormed the palace of Sheikh Hasina in the capital of Dhaka on Monday.

Pakistan benefits heavily from this pro-Indian person fleeing her home land. Similar to how we benefited when the pro-Indian Afghan government fled the Taliban.

Anything for these dictators to stay in power, similar to what is happening in Pakistan since Imran Khan has been jailed. They don't care how many die - they are just power and money hungry. These nepotism mafias in South Asia must come to an end.

I'd say geo-strategically it is more important.

Now India will possibly have a three-front war to fight, which Indians have tried to avoid since 1971.

Not that things will ever end up at that juncture though.....

Here is some versers from Nahum ( related to freedom) , old testament. Poetic form by Lord chatGPT

The Fall of Nineveh

1
Behold the great city, its towers high,
Yet now comes a time when it must die.
Horses and chariots in frantic sound,
The mighty army's scattered, ground-bound.

2
The flashing swords and the clamor of war,
Turned to silence, where they once roared.
You, who triumphed in blood and strife,
Shall meet the end of your ruthless life.

3
The Lord's fierce anger, a tempest's might,
Shall bathe the city in endless night.
The vengeful God's decree is clear,
Your kingdom's doom is drawing near.

4
Woe to the blood-stained, cruel and proud,
Your end is spoken, your fate is loud.
The cities you ravaged, the lands you stole,
Shall rise in vengeance, reclaim their soul.

5
The lion's den, where you once reigned,
Shall be a memory of death and pain.
No more will you chase with ruthless zeal,
For your empire's fate is sealed.

6
In the ruins of your splendor, you'll find no grace,
Only the echoes of a desolate place.
Your gods are powerless, turned to dust,
As the just hand of fate completes its thrust.

7
Nineveh, your glory's all but gone,
Your mighty pride now turned to scorn.
The plagues you spread, the pain you sowed,
Shall return to you in vengeful load.

8
So, let the nations rejoice and sing,
For justice has come, on angel's wing.
Your empire's fall is the just reward,
For the tyrant's wrath and the cruel sword.

9
So hear the prophecy, and mark the sign,
That tyranny's reign will end in decline.
For Nahum's word, with righteous fire,
Foretells the fall of Nineveh's pyre.

---
Nahum , old testament

Ps - Just read fall of Hasina instead of Nineveh!

Religious minority ( specially Hindus) must be protected at any cost. Otherwise our people's revolution will lost it's glory. I'm sure if something like that is happening then it's the revenge of BAL in order to show the victory as work of fanatics. This victory is for people all free Bangladesh regarding both Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist Christian, and for Al Bangladeshi people.

Here is something I found from Facebook. First watch is a video of Ella's Hussain.

So Muslim People must protect their Hindu brothers and sisters from any violence by the BAL vultures who will now pretend as common people.

Hasina moved to a safe house in India: PTI

Former prime minister Sheikh Hasina has been moved to a safe but undisclosed location in India, PTI reported quoting unnamed sources.

It was unlikely that she would leave India tonight, it added.

The sources said Hasina's plan was to leave for London. However, certain issues have made that plan uncertain.

India decided to provide a safe passage through the Indian airspace to Hasina's aircraft following a request from Bangladesh, the sources said.

Bangladesh's military aircraft carrying Hasina landed in Hindon Air Base near Delhi earlier this evening.

Indian government sources said New Delhi is closely following the fast-paced developments in Dhaka.

There is no official word in India on Hasina's arrival in Delhi.

Hours after Hasina landed at the airbase near Delhi in a C-130J military transport aircraft of the Bangladesh Air Force, Indian National Security Adviser Ajit Doval met her, the sources said.

Separately, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar briefed Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the rapidly unfolding situation in Bangladesh.

Jaishankar also separately apprised Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on the developments.

Modi later chaired a meeting of his cabinet committee and discussed the developments in Bangladesh.​

Former Bangladeshi prime minister Sheikh Hasina is likely to stay in India until the UK grants her asylum, reports Republic TV.

It said that India is likely to provide Hasina all logistical support, reports our New Delhi correspondent quoting the TV channel.

Meanwhile, Indian Air Force and other Indian security agencies are providing security to Hasina who is being moved to a safe location, ANI said quoting unnamed sources.

Hasina is likely to meet her daughter Saima Wazed, who is based in New Delhi and working as the World Health Organisation's regional director for South-East Asia.

Security at the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi's diplomatic zone Chanakyapuri has been beefed up with the installation of additional barricades and deployment of more police forces.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi tonight presided over a high-level meeting of the cabinet committee on security affairs.

However, there was no official word on what transpired at the meeting which ended around 8:30pm IST.​

PM resigned, interim govt to be formed: Army chief

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned and an interim government will be formed to run the country, Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman said today.

The Bangladesh army chief made the announcement while addressing the nation in the afternoon.

The army chief said in a televised address that Hasina had resigned earlier in the day.

The development comes in the wake of unprecedented violence that saw roughly 300 people killed in the space of two weeks.

He reassured everyone that justice would be ensured for each of the killings. General Waker said it was now everyone's responsibility to remain calm.

"Together, we hope to go towards a better situation," he said addressing the media.

"I am taking full responsibility," the general said.

"The country has suffered a lot, the economy has been hit, many people have been killed -- it is time to stop the violence."

"I hope after my speech, the situation will improve."

He said he would talk to the president to form the interim government and had held talks with the main opposition parties and civil society members -- but not the Awami League.

"If the situation gets better, there is no need for emergency", he said, vowing that the new authorities would "prosecute all murders" following weeks of deadly protests.

"Now the task of the students is to keep calm and help us," he said.​

US urges calm in Bangladesh, salutes army role

The United States called yesterday for calm in Bangladesh after long-ruling leader Sheikh Hasina fled, and saluted the military for forming an interim government instead of cracking down further on protesters.

"We urge all parties to refrain from further violence. Too many lives have been lost over the course of the past several weeks, and we urge calm and restraint in the days ahead," State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters.

Hasina had sought to quell nationwide protests against her government since early July but she fled the country after nearly 100 people were killed on Sunday.

Miller said that the United States had seen reports that the army refused pressure to crack down further on student-led demonstrations.

"If it is true in fact that the army resisted calls to crack down on lawful protesters, that would be a positive development," he said.

"We welcome the announcement of an interim government and urge any transition be conducted in accordance with Bangladesh's laws," he said.

Asked if the military should choose the next leadership, Miller said, "We want to see the Bangladeshi people decide the future Bangladeshi government."

He said that the United States also was "deeply saddened about the reports of human rights abuses, casualties and injuries over the weekend and past weeks."

"It is vital that we have full and transparent investigations to ensure accountability for these deaths," Miller said.

Hasina largely had a productive relationship with the United States, which saw her as a partner on priorities such as countering Islamist extremism and sheltering Rohingya refugees fleeing persecution in Myanmar.

But the United States had increasingly criticised her for autocratic tendencies and imposed visa sanctions over concerns on democracy.​
