Bangladesh's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has blamed opposition parties for the ongoing unrest, which has killed over 150 people. She imposed a curfew for public safety, but hopes to lift it soon. The violence began as protests against government job quotas, but escalated into calls for her resignation. The High Court's decision to scrap most quotas has not eased tensions. Hasina accuses the Bangladesh Nationalist Party and Jamaat-e-Islami of inciting violence. She vows to suppress the militants and restore order. The situation remains volatile, with protests and clashes continuing across the country.
