Bangladesh Coup: Sheikh Hasina Resignation Shocking

In recent months, Bangladesh has witnessed a wave of political unrest and mass protests demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. As the country grapples with a complex mix of economic, political, and social challenges, these demonstrations have become a focal point for both national and international attentions. The protests against Sheikh Hasina’s government have ignited discussions about democracy, governance, and the future of Bangladesh.

At least 98 people were killed and hundreds injured in Bangladesh on Sunday as police used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse tens of thousands demanding the resignation of PM Hasina.

Background On Sheikh Hasina’s Leadership

Sheikh Hasina, the leader of the Awami League, has been a dominant figure in Bangladesh politics for decades. First assuming the role of Prime Minister in 1996, she has served multiple terms, with her most recent tenure beginning in 2009. Her government has been credited with significant economic growth, infrastructure development, and improvements in healthcare and education. However, Hasina’s administration has also faced criticism for alleged human rights violations, suppressions of dissent, and accusations of authoritarianism.

Under Hassina’s leadership, Bangladesh has made notable strides in poverty reduction and economic development. The country has experienced consistent GDP growth, earning recognition as one of the fastest-growing economies in Asia. Infrastructure projects, such as the Padama Bridge, have bolstered connectivity and trade. Despite these achievements, concerns over corruption, government and democratic practices have fueled public discontent.

New Delhi: 

In the two separate terms and 20 years that she has been the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, the ongoing protests that have seen over 300 people killed, is perhaps Sheikh Hasina’s biggest test. The 76-year-old has resigned and fled Ganabhaban, the palatial residence of the Bangladeshi PM while protesters have stormed its premises. 

CALLS FOR HASINA TO STEP DOWN

WHY DO PROTESTERS WANT HASINA’S RESIGNATION?

The protesters blame Hasina’s government for the violence during the protests in July. Hasina’s critics and rights groups have accused her government of using excessive force against protesters, a charge the government denies.

The students group has declined Hasina’s offer for talks to resolve the crisis.

HASINA WINS JANUARY ELECTION

Hasina retained power for a fourth straight term in a January general election boycotted by BNP, which accused her Awami League of trying to legitimise sham elections.

BNP said 10 million party workers were on the run ahead of the election with nearly 25,000 arrested following deadly anti-government protests on Oct. 28. Hasina blamed the BNP for instigating anti-government protests that rocked Dhaka ahead of the election and left at least 10 people dead.

Government Response and International Reactions

The Hasina government’s response to the protests has been a mix of conciliatory gesture and crackdowns. While some officials have acknowledged the need for dialogue and reforms, others have resorted to repressive measures to quell dissent. Arrests of oppositions leaders, censorship of media outlets, and the use of force against protestors have drawn criticism from human right organization and the international community.

International reactions to the situation in Bangladesh have been varied. Some countries have expressed concern over the erosion of democratic principles and urged the government to respect human rights. Organizations such as the United Nations and Amnesty International have called for restrain and dialogue to address the grievances of the protestors.
