Bangladesh dissolves parliament in face of students’ pressure
Bangladesh’s parliament was dissolved on Tuesday after protesting student leaders demanded it, warning of a “strict programme” if their deadline was not met, a day after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled following a violent uprising.
Nahid Islam one of the key organisers of the movement against Hasina, said on Facebook with two other student leaders that parliament should be dissolved by 3 pm (0900 GMT) on Tuesday and asked “revolutionary students to be ready” if that did not happen.
