Bangladesh passes six months after Hasina's downfall
Staff Correspondent
Six months have passed since the fall of dictator fascist Sheikh Hasina in the face of student-led mass uprising.
The nearly 16-year-long dictatorial fascist rule in Bangladesh ended on August 5, 2024, in exchange for blood of the student-people and thousands of lives.
Today marks the 6th month since the fall of Sheikh Hasina beginning new Bangladesh.
On that day, Awami League president Sheikh Hasina resigned from the post of prime minister and fled to India. The people of Bangladesh are haunted by the burning memories of this historic change.
With the resignation of Sheikh Hasina, millions of people across the country, including the capital Dhaka, took to the streets on August 5 to express their joy at the fall of the fascist rule that had lasted for more than a decade and a half.
Countless people offered voluntary prayers on the streets on August 5 to express their gratitude as the burden of misrule was lifted from the shoulders of the nation.
In the student-people's movement against discrimination, many students including Abu Sayeed, Mugdho, Wasim and more than 1,000 people from various professions were martyred in the attacks by the law enforcement agencies including the police and armed cadres and party terrorists.
The light of 400 people's eyes has gone out in the violence of law enforcement agencies and Awami League men.
More than 23,000 people have been seriously injured and wounded. Many have had to be amputated. Thousands of people are still writhing in hospital beds with bullet wounds on their bodies.
