Bangladesh’s prime minister has resigned, following weeks of deadly protests in the country, Report informs referring to Sky News.
Sheikh Hasina and her sister have taken a military helicopter to India, according to the country’s leading national paper.
They are taking “safe shelter” away from her official residence, the news agency Reuters reports.
At least 95 people, including at least 14 police officers, died in clashes in the capital on Sunday, according to local news, while hundreds more were injured.
At least six people were reportedly killed in clashes between police and protesters in the Jatrabari and Dhaka Medical College areas on Monday.
The demonstrations began with students seeking to end a quota system for government jobs, but clashes with police and pro-government activists escalated into violence that left more than 200 dead last month.
That triggered more protests demanding accountability from the government, which have grown into calls for Ms Hasina, who has been leading the country since 2009, to step down.
