Many Bangladesh nationals who were in India for business and medical tours are returning back to their country after Sheikh Hasina resigned from Prime Ministership and fled the country.
Before Hasina came to power in Bangladesh 17 years ago, insurgency in the North East was at its peak with the ULFA and the Bodo outfit NDFB in Assam running amok, while back home in Meghalaya a new insurgent outfit was surfacing with a more sophisticated network and manpower.
Following renewed violence in Bangladesh that has led to the death of atleast 98 people on Sunday alone and mounting pressure, Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, resigned on Monday and fled the country, ending her 15 years in power.
