Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled to India on August 5 in the face of the student uprising. But there have been many speculations about his status or resignation. The government has not yet said anything. Sheikh Hasina is also silent on this matter. However, according to various media reports, Sheikh Hasina came to know on the night of August 4 that the student movement has reached such a stage that it is impossible for the security forces to control it.Still, Sheikh Hasina was not agreeing to resign under any circumstances. Rather, he was adamant about suppressing the movement more harshly. When the situation deteriorated rapidly, younger brother Sheikh Rehana also failed to convince him. At one stage, the security forces contacted the son of Sajib Wazed Joy. In the beginning, Jai was furious, excited. At the end of the tough role of the security forces, Joy agreed to the resignation of her mother, Sheikh Hasina. Seeing no other way, Sheikh Hasina finally agreed to resign.
According to Manavzamin’s report, Sheikh Hasina’s fate was decided on the night of August 4. But he was not willing to accept it. Round by round of meetings, discussions, acceptance of the resignation and preparation of the final resignation letter, time quickly runs out. Allegations have been made that Sheikh Hasina was kept away from the real situation regarding the situation. For this, various media are pointing fingers at various people. The Indian media has reported that a group of 4 people or ‘Gang of Four’ is responsible for the downfall of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her departure from the country. There is a commotion going on in Dhaka.
Moreover, according to the news agency AFP, Sheikh Hasina and Sheikh Rehana went to Agartala, India, on August 5 at 2:30 a.m. in a military helicopter from Bangabhavan, and then to Delhi. Hasina wanted to record a speech before leaving the country. But he didn’t get that chance. It was also reported that Sheikh Hasina left Ganobhaban and went to Bangabhaban with her younger sister that morning. Efforts are underway to confirm the truth of these news. 3 weeks are about to pass since Hasina ran away. The fog is still not clear. Sheikh Hasina was consistently informed about the state of the country in various ways. It is also known that he was not listening to anyone.
Sheikh Hasina’s delay in resigning is a loss for the nation. Otherwise, people’s anger would have been somewhat less in the important institutions of the state, including public buildings. The situation on August 5 was not at all favorable for Sheikh Hasina’s visit to Bangabhaban. Thinking about the safety of his life, on the advice of the security forces, he signed his resignation letter sitting in Ganobhaban that afternoon. Which is the President in the fastest time through the responsible person. Sahabuddin was reached.
Meanwhile, Sheikh Hasina did not leave Bangladesh by helicopter. Didn’t even go to Agartala. Sheikh Hasina boarded the C-130-J Super Hercules aircraft which was recently added to the fleet of the Air Force and left for Delhi directly. Before that, he was taken to the old airport in Tejgaon under several layers of security from Gana Bhavan. The C-130J aircraft manufactured by the American company Macdonald Douglas used by the British Air Force was ready there. It is also known that it was prepared in advance.
Sheikh Hasina’s only companion on the flight was her younger sister Sheikh Rehana. The Bangladesh Air Force aircraft carrying them flew non-stop from Dhaka and landed at Hindon airbase in Ghaziabad near Delhi on the evening of August 5. National Security Advisor of India Ajit Doval received them there. It is also known that the then administration of Bangladesh was mainly in touch with the Office of the National Security Adviser of India for other preparations to receive Sheikh Hasina including getting quick flight clearance.
