Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's daughter, Saima Wazed, has expressed deep sorrow over the recent loss of lives amid the anti-government protests in Bangladesh. Wazed shared her sentiments on social media, highlighting her inability to embrace her mother during these trying times.

Hasina resigned as prime minister and moved to India on Monday in response to the unprecedented protests. The demonstrations, which started with demands to end a quota system reserving government jobs for veterans' families, escalated into a broader anti-government movement.

Bangladesh's political landscape underwent a significant change on Tuesday when President Mohammed Shahabuddin dissolved Parliament and appointed Nobel laureate Mohammad Yunus to lead an interim government. Despite the turmoil, Wazed, who serves as the World Health Organization's regional director for Southeast Asia, remains committed to her role.
