Police operatives in Bangladesh have declared indefinite strike following deadly protests that claimed about 100 lives.
The Bangladesh’s key police association on Tuesday said its members were going on strike.
This is coming a day after the protests they had sought to crush with deadly force toppled the prime minister.
“Until the security of every member of the police is secured, we are declaring a strike,” the Bangladesh Police Association said in a statement, which represents thousands of senior police officers.
It could be recalled that the Bangladesh Chief of Army Staff, General Waker-Uz-Zaman unveiled plans to establish an inclusive interim government, following the exit of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Following consultations with all major political parties, a consensus has been reached to form a transitional government.
