No BD is a not banana republic where India decides who the leader is.

Thought you braggart Indians would now realise that only BD'shis decide who rules them.

Since independence in 1971, Bangladesh has experienced 28 military coups and coup attempts.. so yes, bangladesh is a banana republic ..

and only the bangladeshi's will request for intervention soon after all the euphoria is over

 

[gusto]

really happy for people of Bangladesh, they really get rid of a w!t*h

hopes they really get a direction as they are on the right path, they really deserve it after a daring throw away of Hasina.

well done.

Your post is tarnished with abrasive and sarcasm.

None intended.

For you to compare Bangladesh to a Libya and Iraq - is at the very least immature and deliberately dis-respective. There aint no lakes of oil and vaults full of gold to steal - so the US wont be in haste to introduce their "democracy.

We have seen what hunger of power can do to a nation when there is a genuine power vacuum, gold or no gold. However, you're entitled to your opinion. I just raised a relevant concern, perhaps a bit pre-maturely. But no disrespect intended. I would wish for nothing less than a prospering BD & its people.

Your last sentence - The same can be said for India - lets hope the 100,000s of Indians coming to the UK with dodgy visa and illegal migrants will find India becoming a haven of success and bed of roses.
I suggest dont throw stones when you live in glasshouses....

I too hope your wish come true one day.

P.S.: My last post on the thread. People are too sensitive here with knee jerk reaction.

The People of Bangladesh win. Congrats to the Bangla brothers.

Protesters tear down statue of PM's father​

One demonstrator has told the BBC that a statue of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in Ganabhaban - the prime minister's official residence - is being demolished by protestors.

He was Sheikh Hasina's father and an independence movement leader.

Sayem Faruk tells the BBC that the scenes are reminiscent of Saddam Hussein's statue being taken down in Iraq in 2003. He says people are attacking the statue.

Some personal cars of ministers abandoned in the area are also being damaged by the crowd, while other people are climbing on top of armoured vehicles, Faruk says.

He adds that army troops on the streets seem relieved by Hasina's departure.

Why would Hasina head for India ?​

According to reports, the “safe place” Sheikh Hasina is headed to is its giant neighbour – India.

Over the years, India has been her biggest ally and this has worked well for both countries.

Bangladesh shares borders with a number of north-eastern Indian states – many of which have grappled with militancy over decades, and a friendly regime in Dhaka helps with that.

During her time in power, Hasina clamped down on anti-India militant groups in Bangladesh, winning friends in Delhi. She has also given transit rights to India to make sure goods from its mainland make it to those states.

Hasina, who forged close ties with India ever since she was first elected in 1996, has always justified Dhaka’s close relationship with Delhi.

During a visit to India in 2022, she reminded people of Bangladesh how India, its government, people and armed forces had helped the country during the independence war in 1971.

But her closeness to Delhi – and India’s backing of her - has been criticised by the opposition parties and activists who say India should be backing the people of Bangladesh and not a particular party.

Footage has now emerged showing protesters looting Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's official residence in the capital Dhaka.

Some of the demonstrators are seen carrying chairs and what looks like a sofa from the Ganabhaban residence.

Instills confidence that our army won't harm us.

Watch the video I shared above.

Our brothers were with us you can tell. It's just that there were a few black sheep in the mix.

Quotas for children of the liberation movement? That is madness. Third world governments love imposing quotas for government jobs. It's frankly stupid and selfish and makes most citizens feel excluded from the system. It promotes the incompetent over the competent. Good for the people of Bangladesh that they fought against this irrational system.

A quick update on what's happening​

If you're just joining us now, here's a quick look at what you need to know:

• Bangladesh's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned and fled the country, the BBC understands
• Hasina, who has led Bangladesh since 2009, is onboard a helicopter heading to the Indian city of Agartala, according to BBC Bengali
• Army chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman is set to address the nation, but his speech has already been delayed. He is said to be meeting with "stakeholders"
• Hasina's resignation comes as thousands of protesters have taken to the streets in the capital Dhaka - with thousands more set to follow, a day after clashes between police and protesters left at least 90 people dead
• Some demonstrators have reportedly stormed Hasina's official residence in Dhaka
• Some 300 people have been killed over the past month as authorities have cracked down on anti-government protesters
• The student protest started last month with peaceful demands to abolish quotas in civil service jobs, but have since transformed into a wider anti-government movement and nationwide unrest, calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina
