In a sudden turn of events, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, 76, had to resign and flee Dhaka on Monday, following weeks of massive anti-government protests resulting in hundreds of deaths.
On her way to London in a military transport aircraft C 130J, Hasina, accompanied by her sister, landed at Hindon Airport--an Indian Air Force base near Delhi-Monday afternoon.
Earlier in the day, Bangladesh army chief Wakeruz-Zaman, in an address to the nation, announced Hasina's resignation and said he would work to form an interim government. Late in the evening, Bangladeshi President Mohammed Shahabuddin ordered the release of jailed former prime minister and key opposition leader Khaleda Zia.
Hasina's 15-year tenure she was elected for a fourth successive term earlier this year saw an unprecedented strengthening of strategic and economic bilateral ties between India and Bangladesh.
According to sources, the on Cabinet Committee Security (CCS) met Monday evening at the Prime Minister's official residence on the latest developments in Bangladesh.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was joined by other members of the CCS including Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman at the meeting.
A Parliament statement is likely on Tuesday on the situation in India's neighbouring country.
National Security Adviser Ajit Doval, accompanied by senior officials, met Hasina at the airbase near Delhi and is understood to have conveyed India's position on the developments in Bangladesh, sources said. It is learnt that Hasina has been moved to a safe location as it is unlikely that she would leave India on Monday night.
