The situation in the neighbouring country Bangladesh is the same as it was in India’s other neighbouring countries Pakistan, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka some time back. Bangladesh has also fallen prey to a coup. Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled the country. The anger of the protesters was visible from the road to the Prime Minister’s residence. The people protesting against the government entered the Prime Minister’s residence and looted it. In such a situation, let us take a look at the pictures of the events that happened on Monday, which have now become a part of history.
After the coup in Bangladesh and the resignation of Sheikh Hasina, there is an atmosphere of violence in different parts of the country. There are reports of vandalism and arson in some places. Protesters demanding the resignation of Sheikh Hasina took to the streets in large numbers despite the curfew to express their anger.
‘Bangabandhu Bhawan’, the official residence of Bangladesh’s founder Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, was vandalized and set on fire. This is a historic building located in Dhanmondi, Dhaka, which was used by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as his personal residence.

The protesters have expressed their anger at Awami League party MP Murtaza for his silence on the alleged genocide and mass arrest of students in Bangladesh. In the visuals that emerged after the incident, his house was seen vandalised and set on fire by the protesters.
The reason for the fall of Bangladesh government is record high unemployment and inflation!
Around 8 lakh graduates are unemployed in the country. #Bangladesh
The students were protesting against the 30% job quota for families of freedom fighters. Then the Supreme Court intervened and reduced the quota to 5%…… pic.twitter.com/rwdAHTe6Z3
