Bangladesh PM blames deadly protests on political opponents | BBC News


Bangladesh’s Prime Minister has blamed her political opponents for the deadly unrest in the country, adding she was "forced" to impose a curfew for public safety.

"I never wanted it," Sheikh Hasina said on Monday in a meeting with business leaders in the capital Dhaka. "We will lift the curfew whenever the situation gets better."

Her comments come a day after Bangladesh’s top court scrapped most of the quotas on government jobs, which have sparked weeks of violent clashes across the country.

More than 150 people have been killed in clashes between protesters and the police and the rallies have escalated into calls for Ms Hasina to step down.
