00:00In Bangladesh, students and teachers have now started a major movement against the Yunus
00:17government as well. The protest has escalated to such an extent that the police had to use
00:22water cannons and tear gas to control them. First, Sheikh Hasina's government was shaken.
00:26Now, anger against Yunus. Let's find out the whole story.
00:30Bangladesh students have now taken to the streets against the head of Bangladesh's interim
00:36government, Mohammed Yunus. The anger of the students who led the movement against former
00:41Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and ousted her in August 2024 is now visible on the streets
00:46against the Yunus government. Controlling the students protesting on a large scale against
00:52the government's policies has become difficult for Yunus's police. But after this, water
00:58cannons and tear gas shells had to be used on the students. According to the New York Post,
01:04this protest started in Bangladesh's capital, Dhaka, over demands including salary increases
01:10for hundreds of primary school teachers, which later turned into a brutal police action.
01:15In this protest, Bangladeshi students also took to the streets with their various demands. Not only
01:22that, you can clearly see in the video how buses were set on fire. The streets are ablaze and
01:28students are continuously seen running. In fact, the Bangladeshi government has cancelled the appointment
01:34of music and PT teachers in primary schools. This has caused immense anger among students and teachers
01:41against the government. The protest and the ensuing chaos escalated to such an extent that the police
01:47used water cannons, tear gas shells, sound grenades and batons on the protesters gathered in front of the
01:53education building. People were seen running. At least a dozen people were injured. Some reports indicate that
02:00over 100 teachers and students were injured. However, the reports are also said to be limited. It is also being said that
02:08the number of injured could be between 200 and 500. This protest was organized under the banner of the
02:13Bangladesh Primary Teachers Association. The teachers say that their salary has remained unchanged since
02:18the 1990s, while inflation and the cost of living are skyrocketing.
02:22They say that this protest is a reflection of Bangladesh's economic challenges. Unemployment and
02:29poverty are increasing in the country, while the education budget is limited. Teacher leader Abu Saif warned that
02:35if the demands are not met, there will be a nationwide strike. The government has promised an
02:39investigation, but the teachers' anger is not subsiding.
02:41This incident not only highlights the salary issue, but also shows the cost of peaceful protests
02:50in a democracy. Will this movement bring change? Time will tell, but the violence that erupted in Bangladesh
02:57after Nepal does not seem to be calming down easily. We are keeping a close watch on the news. We will continue to
03:03bring you any updates. Until then, keep watching One India Hindi.
