Demonstrations that forced Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to flee have widened to target more officials appointed during her time in office
Protesters gather at the High Court premises demanding the resignation of Obaidul Hassan, chief justice of Bangladesh in Dhaka, August 10, 2024.Bangladesh’s chief justice and central bank governor have resigned, officials said on Saturday, as student protests that forced Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to flee have widened to target more officials appointed during her time in office.
Nazrul, an adviser in the new caretaker government, urged protesters to remain peaceful. “Don’t damage any public property,” he said in the post. Days earlier, four deputy governors were forced to resign after about 300 to 400 bank officials protested against what they said was corruption by top officials.
The university has been the epicentre of deadly protests that escalated in July against quotas in government jobs before morphing into an oust-Hasina campaign.
