Bangladesh’s parliament has been dissolved following the resignation and departure of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
A statement from the president’s office announced the dissolution of the country’s parliament.
The dissolution of Bangladesh’s parliament is part of demand by the protesters.
Following the violence protest that led to the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh’s Army chief, Waker-Uz-Zaman announced that an interim government would be formed.
But the student protesters have rejected the military-led government.
Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus has agreed to a call by students in Bangladesh for him to be chief adviser to an interim administration.
“When the students who sacrificed so much are requesting me to step in at this difficult juncture, how can I refuse?” Mr Yunus said.
People were taken to the streets of Bangladesh to jubilate following the resignation of long-term Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina since the absence of the PM has brought a lot of relief to the citizens.
Currently, Bangladeshi opposition activist and lawyer Ahmad Bin Quasem who was allegedly abducted under Sheikh Hasina’s rule has been released.
Ahmed Bin Quasen’s lawyer, Michael Polak announced on X.
“Since 2016, @tobycadman and I have been working on the case of Ahmad Bin Quasem, Arman, who was unlwafully seized from his family and held incommunicado in secret detention facilities.” The Lawyer wrote.
“I woke up this morning to news that, following the overthrow of Ex-Prime Minister Sheikh Hasin by #Bangladeshstudentprotest, Arman was released to his family and he is now with them, including his two daughters, one of whom was only 1 years old when he was abducted.” He added.
The Lawyer expressed his gratitude to anyone who helped his client to get out of detention.
“Thank you to everyone who helped both publicly and behind the scenes to #FreeArman” He added.
Opposition leader Khaleda Zia has also been released.
