More than 100 people were killed in fierce clashes in Bangladesh, taking the death count since protests erupted last month to over 300.

PM Hasina has fled from the country to a safer Zone. There is a talk that she is taking shelter in India along with her sister.

Rallies that began last month against civil service job quotas have escalated into some of the worst unrest of Prime Minister Hasina’s 15-year rule and shifted into wider calls for the 76-year-old to step down.

The demonstrations have grown into a wider anti-government movement across Bangladesh. It has attracted people from all strata of Bangladesh society, including film stars, musicians and singers.

Songs calling for people’s support have spread widely on social media.
