In the midst of this, Sheikh Hasina resigned as Bangladesh Prime Minister on Monday and fled the country. If reports are to be believed, she is expected to take a pit-stop in India and fly off to London.
After Hasina's resignation and exit from the country, protestors were seen barging inside her official residence and feasting on the food inside the house. They also looted the house, lay down on the sofa and swam in the swimming pool of the house.
Bangladesh Army Chief General Waqar-uz-Zaman announced that an interim government will take over the country.
Meanwhile, filmmaker Hansal Mehta recalled how Hasina's government banned the release of his film Faraaz in the country, and hoped for justice to prevail for the citizens.
"The film...apparently showed Sheikh Hasina's government and machinery in poor light. This was a government that wanted nobody outside Bangladesh to know that they were simply inept and run by a highly authoritarian leader who was afraid of any criticism towards herself. They wanted to cover up their bloodied hands by shutting our voice and our right to tell a story that is a mirror to our times, a study of our youth, a critique of authoritarian governments and majoritarian states," he wrote.
