00:00
Bangladesh has started to witness yet another round of disenchantment and resentment against
00:08
the ruling Sheikh Hasina's regime.
00:10
Yesterday, tens of thousands of opposition activists defied the scorching sun to march
00:15
in capital Dhaka and other cities calling for Hasina's resignation.
00:19
At least one opposition activist has died and hundreds of others have been injured in
00:24
clashes across Bangladesh as tens of thousands demanded Prime Minister Hasina's removal ahead
00:29
of elections expected in January.
00:32
The opposition and rights groups have criticised the Hasina government for cracking down on
00:36
anti-government protests.
00:38
In Dhaka, activists and supporters from different parts of the city joined the march that stretched
00:43
for nearly 13 kilometres, bringing traffic at different points to a standstill for hours
00:48
on a busy weekday.
00:51
The opposition, Bangladesh Nationalist Party, led by former Prime Minister Khalid Azia and
00:56
dozens of smaller allies have called for protests throughout the country to demand Hasina's
01:00
step down and the polls take place under a neutral caretaker government.
01:05
The opposition parties have alleged that Sheikh Hasina's government has been fast-tracking
01:09
pending police cases against some of the opposition leaders to prevent them from running in next
01:14
year's elections that will take place in January.
01:17
Several members of the opposition camp have been facing charges of arson, violent attacks
01:21
on police, various subversive activities and other serious crimes since 2013.
01:27
The members of the opposition claim that the police officers have been allegedly instructed
01:31
to maintain good rapport with public prosecutors and judges to ensure quicker trials and the
01:36
disposition of such criminal cases.
01:39
Last December 2, the country had erupted in violent protests.
01:42
A lot of factors had combined together back then to aggravate the situation.
01:46
Dhaka had witnessed huge protests after a massive hike of 51 per cent in essential fuels
01:51
was declared in August 2022 that had made its citizens livid.
01:56
That massive hike was the biggest hike in prices of fuel since Bangladesh became a free
02:00
and sovereign country.
02:01
Although there were already concerns about the nation falling prey to the debt trap of
02:05
China, the impending economic crisis had made concerns even more worrisome.
02:11
Bangladesh had in fact become the third country in South Asia last year after Pakistan and
02:15
Sri Lanka to seek financial support from IMF.
02:19
Inflation rates had skyrocketed and it had increased the cost of living and had decreased
02:23
the actual income of people.
02:25
The often occurring power and energy crisis still continue and it has also exacerbated
02:30
the current situation.
02:31
Yet again, people from all walks of life have joined the demonstrations to protest against
02:36
rising food prices and to express their dismay at how the government has been handling crippling
02:41
inflation.
02:42
These renewed protests seem to be a very serious threat for Sheikh Hasina's authority.
