People remembered the chaos in Afghanistan
When the Taliban took over Afghanistan, there was a lot of chaos at Kabul airport as well. There was chaos at the airport, a huge crowd had gathered, and people wanted to leave the country. However, this was not possible for everyone. Then some such pictures came out, which spread all over the world and told the situation in Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, a video surfaced which sent shivers down the spine. It shows people trying to leave the country by hanging from the plane. As soon as the plane reached the air, they fell down. It was told that these people were trying to leave the country by hanging from the C-17 plane, but as soon as the plane rose in the air, they fell near the Kabul airport.
At the same time, pictures of Bangladesh PM House also surfaced yesterday. Several footages went viral on social media platforms, in which protesters can be seen resting in the bedroom of PM House. Protesters were also seen walking in the lawn of PM House and looting things. In a video, some people are seen picking up chicken from the kitchen of PM House and eating it.
People on social media were reminded of the Sri Lankan tragedy. In 2022, public anger erupted in India’s neighboring country Sri Lanka after the economic crisis. Angry protesters occupied the Presidential Palace, and President Gotabaya Rajapaksa had to flee the country. At that time, protesters broke into the Presidential Palace and vandalized it.
While the protesters outside the President’s House were shouting slogans against the government in anger, the protesters inside the building were seen having fun. In the viral video on social media, the protesters were seen bathing in the swimming pool. Some were seen relaxing in the bedrooms while others were seen having kitchen parties.
According to a report by Bangladesh’s leading media outlet Daily Star, the main organizers of the movement have proposed to make Nobel Prize winner Dr. Muhammad Yunus the chief advisor of the interim government.
