The situation and events have taken a sudden turn in Bangladesh, where Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajid has resigned and fled to India after bowing to protests and is now seeking asylum in the UK.
Several Indian sources reported that Hasina Wajid’s plane has landed at Hindon Airport in India, where it will be refueled and then depart for London.

Students began the “Long March to Dhaka” against the government’s proposed quota jobs, during which the Bangladesh government imposed a total internet ban and tried to crack down on the protesters by force. More than 300 people have been killed since protests began in July, with at least 94 killed in Sunday’s fiercest clashes.
