Sheikh Hasina resigned yesterday and fled the country as large crowds of angry protesters demanded her departure. She arrived at the Hindon Air Force base in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, located 30 km from Delhi, last evening. National Security Advisor Ajit Doval received her.

Shortly after her resignation, Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman announced that the military would form an “interim government” and urged protesters to stand down. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has spoken with S Jaishankar about the violence in Bangladesh, which has resulted in over 300 deaths so far. There is no word yet on whether Modi will meet Hasina or not.
