Amid intensifying public unrest, protesters vandalised a statue of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Bangladesh’s founding father and first President, on Monday. The incident occurred as violent anti-government demonstrations surged over the weekend, leading to deadly clashes with police that resulted in nearly 100 deaths. The escalating tensions prompted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to resign and flee the country. A crowd of protesters took to the streets of Dhaka, storming the Dhaka Palace and targeting symbols of the ruling regime. A video showing protesters bringing down the statue of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman has gone viral on social media, symbolising the depth of the unrest. The protests, initially sparked by student demands to end a government job quota system, have grown into a broader anti-government movement. Sheikh Hasina Resigns as Prime Minister: Mob Takes Over Bangladesh PM’s Official Residence as She Leaves Country; Videos Surface.
