DHAKA — Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned and left the country following severe clashes.

On Monday, around 2:30 PM, Hasina and her younger sister, Sheikh Rehana, departed from the presidential residence, Bangabhaban, on a military helicopter.

This move comes in response to escalating violence and unrest.

Reports indicate that Hasina is heading to a “safer place” as the situation in Bangladesh intensifies.

The resignation and sudden departure mark a dramatic turn in the country’s political turf.
