Thousands of protesters flooded Dhaka on August 4, demanding Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation following a deadly police crackdown. The protests, led by Students Against Discrimination, have grown into a nationwide anti-government movement. Despite attempts to restore order, the military has shown implicit support for the people. Former military officers and ex-army chief General Ikbal Karim Bhuiyan have expressed solidarity with the protesters. Current army chief Waker-uz-Zaman affirmed the army's commitment to the people's trust. Protesters vow to paralyze the government with civil disobedience, urging citizens to stop paying taxes and utility bills.
