After Sheikh Hasina Leaves Bangladesh, Military Takes Command: Learn Whose Orders The Country Will Follow | ABP News

Bangladesh's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and left the country, sparking speculation that she might move to India or possibly to London via India. With the military now in control, there are questions about which military officer will make crucial decisions in the absence of a Prime Minister. Historically, when the military governs Bangladesh, the Army Chief assumes responsibility for all key decisions. Currently, Army Chief General Waker-uz-Zaman will make these decisions. This isn’t the first instance of military rule in Bangladesh; in 1975, the military seized power during Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's administration, Sheikh Hasina’s father, and ruled for nearly 15 years. The recent shift to military control follows public unrest over the Supreme Court's abolition of reservations and election boycotts by opposition parties.
