Tens of thousands of supporters of Bangladesh’s main opposition party rallied in the capital on Friday to demand Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s resignation and call for general elections to be held under a caretaker government.
The main opposition party, in disarray since its leader Khaleda Zia was jailed in 2018 on graft charges, has held bigger protest rallies in recent months, drawing thousands of supporters amid mounting anger over the cost of living.
"This government must resign and make way for a free and fair election under an interim government, only through that we can restore a people's government in Bangladesh," he said. In May, the United States said it was adopting a new policy to restrict visas for Bangladeshis who undermine the democratic election process at home.
