Bangladesh PM Hasina taken to 'safe shelter', minister says situation volatile
DHAKA (Reuters) -Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation is a "possibility", French news agency AFP reported on Monday, as six more people were killed in some of the worst violence since the birth of the South Asian nation more than five decades ago.
Hasina's resignation is a "possibility", AFP reported citing a senior aide. Reuters could not immediately verify the report. Hasina and her sister had been taken to a "safe shelter" away from her official residence, a government source told Reuters.
"You see, the situation is very volatile. What is happening, I myself don’t know," Law Minister Anisul Huq told Reuters.
Student activists had called for a march to the capital Dhaka on Monday in defiance of a nationwide curfew to press Hasina to resign, a day after deadly clashes across the country killed nearly 100 people.
