Former Bangladeshi Telecom Minister Zunaid Ahmed Palak was prevented from leaving the country at Dhaka's Shahjalal International Airport. Attempting to fly to Nepal with two assistants, Palak was halted by the immigration department amid ongoing political unrest. As tensions rise, numerous Awami League leaders have either fled or gone into hiding. Palak, an MP since 2008, faced significant criticism for internet shutdowns during student protests. Other prominent figures like Speaker Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury and ministers Obaidul Quader and Asaduzzaman Khan remain in Bangladesh but are unreachable.
