Bangladesh Violence News: The anti-reservation movement in Bangladesh has taken a violent turn. Violent movements have shaken the police, administration and the entire government there for the last 15 days. The youth of Bangladesh are neither listening to the police nor obeying the law, nor is the trust of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in justice having any effect on them. Bangladesh's capital Dhaka remains the epicenter of protests. In view of the violent movement, curfew has been imposed in the entire country. This was announced by the government of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.The nationwide movement against reservation is continuously intensifying. So far at least 47 people have died in different parts of Bangladesh. 2500 people have been injured. Violent clashes between protesters and police are being seen in every city. It seems that the situation has gone out of control. In many cities, protesters are roaming the streets with sticks, rods and stones.They are setting buses and vehicles on fire. Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina recently addressed the country on the government national television. She appealed to maintain peace, but this too had no effect. It is being told that after this the protesters became more angry. They attacked the government television office and burnt it.
