Protesters siege Bangladesh Presidential Palace, demand president's resignation

(VOVWORLD) -Protesters surrounded the Presidential Palace in Dhaka on Tuesday night, demanding that President Mohammed Shahabuddin resign.

Bangladesh witnessed the renewed tensions in the political and security crisis that began in July, culminating in the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and leaving the country.

One protester stated, "The President is a crony of Hasina's authoritarian government. He must resign immediately."

The Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, which played a pivotal role in Hasina's ouster, organized a rally at the Central Shaheed Minar, has now demanded Shahabuddin's resignation. They have set a seven-day deadline for his removal and presented a five-point demand, including the scrapping of Bangladesh's 1972 Constitution.
