The neighbouring country of our nation is in deep trouble. Bangladesh, it has never seen such a disaster from the day it was born. In five decades of democracy, Bangladesh has never faced heat inside the country. Sheikh Hasina has been elected as the prime minister for the fourth straight time, this exhibits the country's neutralised nature among the public. But now the situation has changed. Feared for the protests around the country, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled away from the country. On Monday from her official residence, he boarded a military helicopter along with her sister Sheikh Rehana. At around 2:30 PM on August 5th, she boarded the flight and went for a safer place.

The students in the country were never against the reservation quota, but after the implementation of the government job reservation quota for the 1971 War of Independence family members, the instability in the country started, that is with the protests of the students. As the country already has 30 per cent reservation for women and on a caste basis and now this quota for soldier families will add more 30 per cent, in total leaving the jobs at 60 per cent for only the reservation quota. This has burned the nation and turned into an emergency-type situation in the country.

Bangladesh has also banned the political party Jamaat-e-Ismlami by alleging that they carry forward terrorist activities. Parties like Awami League, Chhatra League, and Jubo League activists. came in support of students. From day one of the job quota bill was introduced in the country, Bangladesh is burning and brought to the edge of the Prime Minister's resignation. However, the country has seen 100 student deaths, 10000 arrests and thousands on hospital beds. Students started walking on the roads all over the nation with slogans against the government. The twenty years of governance have come to an end in a very bad phase.

Besides these, Bangladesh has also banned VPN services, and broadband services and imposed a countrywide curfew in July. Yet the protests were never stopped. On 1st August, it also banned all social media, but the situation came into control and ended up in military rule. Sheikh Hasina's son posted a message on Facebook wall, he wrote, ‘Your duty is to keep our people safe and our country safe and uphold the constitution’. According to sources, she tried to record a message for the public of the nation but was unable to because of the protests around her official residence, Ganabhaban.
