Bangladesh President Mohammed Shahabuddin dissolved the Parliament after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled to India amidst violent student protests. Hasina, who arrived at Hindon airbase near Delhi, will remain in a safe house while determining her next steps. In response to the crisis, Bangladesh's Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman announced the formation of an interim government, vowing to investigate the violence. India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi convened a cabinet meeting, emphasizing strong ties with Hasina. The BSF has heightened border security, suspending train services to Bangladesh. Hasina’s rival, Khaleda Zia, is set to be released from jail.
