Interim Government

On 5 August 2024, a student-led uprising in Bangladesh, led by 26-year-old Nahid Islam, toppled the Sheikh Hasina government.

Bangladesh has requested India to return Sheikh Hasina, who fled to India on 5 August after a student-led movement led to her ousting.

Violence against minority communities in Bangladesh, particularly Hindus, poses a major challenge for the interim government led by Yunus, which took charge on August 8

Antonio Guterres has urged Bangladesh's interim govt to prioritize minority inclusion and human rights ahead of the parliamentary elections.

On Monday, Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman announced that Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned from her position.
