Student leaders whose protest campaign led to Hasina's ouster met with Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman and President Mohammed Shahabuddin, and the decision was made to form an interim government with Yunus as its chief, the President's office announced. The Bangladeshi Army has reshuffled several generals, demoting those seen as close to Hasina, and sacked Ziaul Ahsan, a commander of the feared Rapid Action Battalion paramilitary force. Former Prime Minister and BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia, 78, was also released from years of house arrest.

Rights groups allege that hundreds of Hindu houses, businesses, and temples have been vandalized since Hasina's government fell. Hasina, 76, resigned as Prime Minister after protests over a jobs quota killed over 400 people. She fled Dhaka after reportedly receiving a 45-minute ultimatum from the Bangladesh Army. Hasina landed at Hindon airbase near Delhi on Monday in a Bangladesh military aircraft and is expected to remain in India for a few days.

Speculation about her seeking sanctuary in London has been dismissed by her son, Sajeeb Wazed, who stated she has not requested asylum. Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar confirmed that India is giving Hasina time to recover and decide her next move. He explained that India granted her request to come temporarily and received flight clearance from Bangladesh authorities simultaneously.

Jaishankar also briefed party leaders on the situation in Bangladesh and the steps taken by India to address potential security, economic, and diplomatic repercussions. He emphasized that the Indian government is in touch with the Bangladeshi Army to ensure the safety of Indian nationals and minorities amid the ongoing violence.

The anti-government rallies that began in June against civil service job quotas escalated into significant unrest during Hasina's 15-year rule and expanded into broader demands for her resignation.
