Bangladesh Parliament dissolved, president’s office says

Bangladesh’s parliament was dissolved on Tuesday, August 6, 2024, the president’s office said in a statement, a day after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled the country following violent protests demanding her ouster.

The announcement came hours after protesting student leaders set a deadline to dissolve parliament and warned a “strict programme” would be launched if their deadline is not met.
