In a historic turn of events, crowds across Bangladesh erupted in celebrations as Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina announced her resignation. The move comes after months of pressure following deadly protests over job quotas that rocked the country in July.
The resignation of Hasina, who has been in power since 2009, marks a significant shift in Bangladeshi politics. Calls for her to step down have been growing amidst mounting discontent over her handling of the protests and allegations of corruption within her government.
The jubilant scenes of celebration in cities and towns across Bangladesh illustrate the widespread relief and hope for a new era of leadership. Many see this resignation as an opportunity for the country to turn a new leaf and address the issues that have been plaguing it for so long.
As the nation awaits the appointment of a new Prime Minister and the next steps in its political future, the people of Bangladesh are looking towards a brighter and more prosperous tomorrow.
