Bangladesh is going through a big strike where Bangldashi started their protest against the jobs quota system, but now their protest is not common because the protestors asked the Bangladeshi prime minister to resign from his position as prime minister of Bangladesh.
Many reports showed in the past few days that Sheikh Hasina is under huge pressure, and she will probably quit her position. While other news reports claim that his key family members, e.g., his sister, already left the country, even though these were unofficial, today we have news that Hasina Wajid quit this office and resigned from her position as prime minister of Bangladesh.
As we all know, the Sheikh Hasina regime is the longest in Bangladesh, and Sheikh Hasina took office as Prime Minister of Bangladesh on June 23, 1996. To count this period, we can easily say that she has held the office for decades without any intervention.
However, this recent protest that was organized by students against the job quota system is probably one of the most organized protests that led to the end of the Hasina Wajid regime. Even though the current regime of Sheikh Hasina uses its force to tackle this crisis, as a result, we have seen hundreds of deaths and 100 injuries in this protest.
Sheikh Hasina was supposed to be the prime minister of Bangladesh due to the designed democratic processes, but the truth is far from that because, in democratic processes, it is uncommon for any single party or person to hold the position for three consecutive decades. It seems more like a dictatorship in Bangladesh, which is backed by some powerful elites as well as support from other powerful regimes, which is why she runs the country without any interference from any side.
People in Bangladesh, especially the new generation, seem to be fed up with this unofficial and undeclared dictatorship where some individuals only take the decision and run the whole process. This recent protest signals that this new generation is not happy with the current regime of Hasina Wajid, especially their policies.
Many other factors cannot be ignored, such as corruption, unequal distribution of resources, inflation, etc., as Bangladesh and many Asian countries are facing these challenges, e.g., Sri Lanka, Pakistan, etc., but the Bangladeshi people don’t accept this anymore, especially this one-party regime or indirect dictatorship in Bangladesh.
This is the new era where people are more aware due to social media, etc. People show more interest in the government system and show their resilience against policies that are not in favor of the common people. The people of Bangladesh show that they don’t want a system where one single unit or party controls the country for a longer period of time.
Although Hasina Wajid resigned from the office, the question is: what will be the next move? Whether the country will be led by the army or any other civilian. This is a very tricky question that is not easily answered right now. However, it can be expected that the upcoming regime will be for the betterment of the people of Bangladesh, as the country is already going through many challenges that need swift solutions.
