Sheikh Hasina left the country on Monday after her resignation was demanded by the violent quota demonstrations in Dhaka. She and her sister were shown boarding a military chopper on television.
Hasina's aircraft flew to India and arrived at the Hindon Air Base in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. The former prime minister will soon arrive in Delhi and is scheduled to fly to London. (Also Read: Why Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled country; India suspends trains to Bangladesh; and more)
After Hasina fled, Bangladesh Army Chief Gen. Waker-uz-Zaman attempted to reassure a worried population that order would be restored. He said he had talked with opposition politicians and civil society leaders and would seek the president's advice on forming an interim government. Zaman stated that the military would investigate the violent crackdown on student-led rallies that sparked anger against the government. He also stated that he directed security troops not to fire on crowds.
“Keep faith in the military, we will investigate all the killings and punish the responsible,” he said.
