Sheikh Hasina's Resignation: Unprecedented Unrest in Bangladesh and India’s Diplomatic Response

Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned amid massive anti-government protests, landing in India en route to London. Her travel arrangements remain unclear, with a potential meeting with her daughter, Saima Wazed, in Delhi. The Indian government is monitoring the situation as Bangladesh's Army Chief takes control and over 100 protesters have died.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of Bangladesh stepped down amidst unprecedented anti-government protests, diplomatic sources revealed on Monday. Hasina landed at the Hindon airbase near Ghaziabad on her way to London.

She arrived in India onboard a C-130J military transport aircraft provided by the Bangladesh Air Force. Uncertainty surrounds whether Hasina's next leg to London will involve the same aircraft or a commercial flight. Hasina aims to visit her daughter, Saima Wazed, a WHO regional director based in Delhi.

No official statement has been released regarding Hasina's brief stay in Hindon. India granted safe passage following a request from Dhaka, and officials are closely monitoring developments in Bangladesh, where the Army Chief announced an interim government amidst ongoing violent protests.
