Prime Minister Hasina Wajid had to resign after emergency protests and strong demands of students in Bangladesh.
It should be noted that the Prime Minister of Bangladesh has resigned after the protests against the quota system in the country.
Who did Sheikh Hasina Wajid meet after reaching India?
According to the report issued by the news agency, about an hour before the resignation of Hasina Wajid, her son and her information and communication technology advisor Sajib Wajid Joy released a video message on social media.
Speaking to the British broadcasting organization BBC, the son of Sheikh Hasina Wajid, who was also an adviser on IT and communication in her government, said that my mother was ready to resign yesterday.
The resigned Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina Wajid, wanted to use strong force against the protesters until the last moment, but then one thing forced her to flee.
The story of the last hour of Hasina Wajid’s rule has come to light.
According to the newspaper Protam Aloo of Bangladesh, Prime Minister Hasina Wajid wanted to use force against the protesters and she ordered the curfew from Monday, but around nine o’clock the protesters started breaking the curfew. Summoned three service chiefs and the Inspector General of Police to the Prime Minister’s House.
During the meeting, Hasina Wajid was attacked, she said that adequate measures are not being taken against the protesters. He said that why action is not being taken against the protestors who mounted the armored vehicles.
Meanwhile, the Services Chief and the IG tried to convince the Prime Minister that the situation had gone out of control. A Bangladeshi newspaper says that Hasina Majid’s son was also contacted during the meeting and he also tried to explain his mother.

Hasina Wajid was not ready to hand over power to the army and reminded the service chief that she had made the speeches.
After consultation with the family, Hasina Wajid was ready to resign.
However, before leaving power, she wanted to record a speech. On this, Hasina Wajid was told that the protesters were moving towards the Prime Minister’s House and it would not take more than 45 minutes for them to reach there.
Remember that on Monday it was revealed that the army has given Hasina Wajid a 45-minute ultimatum to leave power. That was the ultimatum.
The Bangladeshi people destroyed the Chief Justice’s house, the Awami League office and the Mujibur Rahman Museum on fire
When Sheikh Hasina Wajid escaped from the Prime Minister’s House in a military helicopter, shortly after that, thousands of people stormed her residence and started vandalizing it.
The helicopter in which Sheikh Hasina escaped first landed at the BSF base in Agar Tala in India. After that Sheikh Hasina left for Delhi and landed at Hindon Airport near Delhi.
“The end of Sheikh Hasina’s government is as much a blow to India as Afghanistan was to America.”
According to a BBC report, Bangladeshi economist Muhammad Yunus, in an interview given to Indian media two days ago, criticized India’s silence on the protests in Bangladesh and said, “Bangladesh’s Two-thirds of the population consists of young people and due to the end of democratic freedom in the country, these two-thirds of young people could never vote, the unrest that is spreading in Bangladesh will have an impact on India as well.
Subhit Bagchi, a political analyst based in Kolkata, says that ‘India’s biggest mistake in foreign policy was that it placed all its stake in Bangladesh on Sheikh Hasina and her party Awami League and the strong opposition of Sheikh Hasina. Because the Indian establishment broke its contact with the opposition BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami.

Bagchi says that ‘Hasina’s party was becoming increasingly unpopular with the people, democratic institutions were disappearing and people’s hatred of the government was increasing. Since India was Sheikh Hasina’s biggest supporter, the people there started hating India as much.
He says that ‘not only this, India has been making America, Britain and the whole world believe that if Awami League loses, Bangladesh will be taken over by extremists.’
India had no idea that public hatred of Sheikh Hasina’s dictatorial regime would reach such an extent that she might have to leave the country and flee the country. This is as big a blow for India as Afghanistan proved to be for the Americans.
What will be India’s next step?
Efforts are now being made to establish an interim government in Bangladesh. Due to the strong opposition of the people, nothing can be said about whether Awami League should be included in this new government or not.
Subhit Bagchi believes that India will now start talks with BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami leaders as well. He says that ‘India is now negotiating with the Taliban government of Afghanistan, so what is the difficulty in building relations with BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami.’
Who did Sheikh Hasina Wajid meet after reaching India?
Another important thing is that Awami League is a nationwide organized party like Jamaat-e-Islami which has millions of workers and this party is spread all over the country. Although there is anxiety against it at the moment, if the opposition could not perform well after coming to power, the possibility of Awami League returning in the future cannot be ruled out.
Professor Shri Radha Dutta says that India’s ties with Bangladesh are so deep and its dependence on India is so high that even BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami cannot afford to spoil relations with India. Trade relations have grown so much that no government would want a bad relationship. All the raw materials of Bangladesh’s textile industry go from India.
China problem in the region for India
China has established a deep influence in South Asia in the last few years.
Sabjit Bagchi says that ‘China and the US are in a race to gain dominance in the Indian Ocean. America is trying to build its naval base in this region and China will get its naval and warship base through Myanmar.

He says that India was trying to break China with the help of Sheikh Hasina. After the departure of Sheikh Hasina, India’s concern in this regard will increase.
