More than 300 people died in the civil unrest in Bangladesh. After this there was a huge protest against Sheikh Hasina.
Sheikh Hasina’s resignation was due to the reservation in government jobs. The protest that started with reservation in jobs gradually grew into an anti-government movement. Sheikh Hasina and the party were humbled by the introduction of reservation in high government jobs, including the children and grandchildren of freedom fighters who participated in the liberation war of Bangladesh in 1971.
