Bangladesh PM To Quit? Sheikh Hasina Leaves Dhaka Palace For ‘Safer Place’

New Delhi/Dhaka: Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has left the capital Dhaka amid violent clashes, a source close to the embattled leader told the news agency AFP.

“She and her sister have left Ganabhaban (the Prime Minister’s official residence) for a safer place,” the source told AFP.

“She wanted to record a speech. But she could not get an opportunity to do that.”

This comes as Bangladesh’s army chief Waker-Uz-Zaman is set to address the nation after 98 people were killed in fierce clashes yesterday, taking the death count since protests erupted last month to over 300.

Ms Hasina’s son urged the country’s security forces to block any takeover from her rule, while a senior advisor told AFP that her resignation was a “possibility” after being questioned as to whether she would quit.
