Video: National Security Advisor Ajit Doval Meets Former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina At Hindon Airbase Near Delhi

National Security Advisor Ajit Doval met the former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina at Hindon airbase near Delhi hours after she fled Dhaka amid violent protests on Monday.

As per reports, their meeting lasted for an hour after which Doval's convoy left the airbase situated in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad.

Hasina landed at the Indian airbase at around 5.36 pm and was received by Air Force officials. Reports suggest that soon the former Bangladesh PM will fly to London.

This comes after protestors in Bangladesh stormed the Prime Minister's official residence in Dhaka shortly after Sheikh Hasina tendered her resignation and left the country accompanied by her sister on Monday.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh newspaper Prothom Alo reported that Awami League's Dhaka district office was set on fire by the agitators. The agitators started the fire at around 4 pm on Monday. 

Agitators also set on fire Awami League president Sheikh Hasina's office at 3/A Dhanmondi in Dhaka. Protesters were seen chanting slogans and celebrating the news of Sheikh Hasina's resignation. 

Earlier in the day, Bangladesh Chief of Army Staff General Waqar-uz-Zaman in a televised address stated that Sheikh Hasina had resigned from the post of Prime Minister and left the country.

In a national address Zaman appealed to protestors to remain calm and return home and also urged citizens to end the violence, stating that there is no need for a curfew or emergency measures. 

The army chief said, now the political transition period is going on and an interim government will be formed. He said that 'all murders will be judged'. 

The army chief said, "Maintain peace and order in the country. You trust me, let's work together. Please help, we won't get anything by fighting. Avoid conflict. We have built a beautiful country together."

More than 100 people have been killed in the protests against the Hasina government over the last two days.

The students' protests in Bangladesh started last month against a controversial job quota scheme. The protests now have turned into an anti-government agitation.

The controversial quota system provided for 30 per cent reservations in civil services jobs for the families of veterans who fought the 1971 liberation war.
