Bangladesh Army Chief Waker-Uz-Zaman to address nation shortly amid violent anti-government protests

By IBNS
Aug 5, 2024 ..

Bangladesh Army General Waker-Uz-Zaman will address the nation shortly on Monday amid ongoing deadly violence against the incumbent government.


Until then, general people have been requested to refrain from violence and be patient, Dhaka Tribune reported quoting the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).

Bangladesh witnessed yet another day of clashes and turmoil when protesters, who are demanding PM Sheikh Hasina's resignation, fought against ruling party members and the police.

The latest round of clashes has left over 90 people dead and scores of others injured in the country with the government once again imposed curfew fro Sunday to control the situation.

The government also announced a three-day general holiday from Monday.

In a bid to quell protests, the government has shut down internet services across the nation.

Sheikh Hasina described those behind the sabotage in the name of protest as terrorists.

“I appeal to the countrymen to suppress these terrorists with a firm hand,” she said in a meeting of the National Committee on Security Affairs at Ganabhaban on Sunday, according to sources from the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), reported Dhaka Tribune.

Hasina earlier blamed the opposition for capitalising on the situation and carrying out deadly attacks in the country.

Stipulating that 93 percent of recruitments will be on merit now, Bangladesh Supreme Court last month scrapped most of the quotas in government jobs that had led to massive protests in July.
