India’s neighboring country Bangladesh is in the grip of violence. The situation has worsened so much that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had to resign from her post and leave the country. During this, a large number of protesters entered the Dhaka Palace and succeeded in breaking the statue of Sheikh Mujibur. Amidst the atmosphere of tension in the country, Army Chief General Waqar-uz-Zaman announced the formation of an interim government soon.
As news of Sheikh Hasina leaving Dhaka spread, protesters demanding her resignation entered the prime minister’s residence, Ganobabon. At around 3 pm, as soon as the doors of Ganobabon opened, protesters entered the premises and celebrated. Hasina and her sister had already left.
It can be seen in the video that the scene of people opening the doors of the Prime Minister’s residence in Dhaka and entering inside has gone viral. Thousands of people were creating a ruckus in the Prime Minister’s residence without any fear. No security personnel or police personnel were visible there. The protesters were also taking away items like chairs and sofas from the Prime Minister’s residence and someone was taking away the TV. Gona Bhawan, once surrounded by security personnel, was in the possession of anarchists. You can see in the video below how the protesters created a ruckus in the PM House.
