Meanwhile, the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement had staged protests, demanding reformation of the quota system. As the movement turned violent and clashes spread across parts of Bangladesh, killing several people, it turned into a mass uprising.
Following the upsurge, on August 5, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and left the country. An interim government, led by Dr Yunus took charge after three days.
