Voice 9, News Desk: Bangladesh's Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, tendered her
resignation and departed from the bustling metropolis of Dhaka amidst
tumultuous demonstrations clamoring for her departure, as disclosed by a
confidant of the beleaguered stateswoman to the esteemed news agency AFP.
"She and her sibling have vacated Ganabhaban (the official abode of the
Prime Minister) for a more secure location," the informant apprised AFP.
"She harbored intentions of delivering an oration.
Regrettably, the circumstances did not permit her to fulfill that
aspiration," the source lamented. A multitude of protestors, numbering in
the hundreds of thousands, flouted the curfew, parading through the
thoroughfares of the capital and subsequently breaching the citadel of the
Prime Minister.
Visual depictions captured throngs streaming into the premier's governmental
residence in Dhaka, gesticulating towards the lens in jubilation. Troops and
law enforcement officers, accompanied by armored vehicles in Dhaka, had
cordoned off pathways to Ms. Hasina's headquarters with concertina wire, as
attested by AFP correspondents; however, colossal throngs inundated the
avenues, dismantling impediments. Regional media outlets estimated that up to
400,000 demonstrators thronged the streets, yet the veracity of this statistic
remained unverifiable.
