Tension is escalating in Bangladesh as protesters defy a deadly crackdown and national curfew to call for a mass march on the capital Dhaka. The protests, initially sparked by government job quotas, have now grown into demands for the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The violence has resulted in nearly 300 deaths and widespread unrest throughout the country. The situation remains volatile as security forces are on high alert and internet access is restricted. The army chief is set to address the nation amid fears of further violence. The government has imposed an indefinite curfew and declared a three-day general holiday in response to the escalating protests. Both sides appear ready for confrontation, with the government labeling protesters as criminals and urging the public to obey the curfew. Despite the crackdown, protesters are vowing to continue their uprising until Hasina steps down. The situation remains tense as the country braces for more violence in the face of ongoing protests and government crackdowns.
