The Student Alliance of Bangladesh, a group representing students and professionals abroad from Bangladesh, has called for the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina following a series of violent crackdowns on student protests. The recent violence in the country has led to the deaths of over 113 students and thousands of injuries, according to the Alliance's recent press release.

The unrest started because of issues with the quota system for government jobs. In 2018, after many student protests, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government got rid of the quota system. Despite abolishing the quota in 2018, it was reinstated for political gain. In the last few days, security forces brutally cracked down on peaceful student protesters, resulting in more than 113 deaths and thousands of injuries. Bangladesh is currently under curfew, and because of the internet outage, the outside world is unable to comprehend what is happening in the country.

In light of these developments, the Student Alliance of Bangladesh has made a five points demands to address the violence and restore order. Central to their demands is the immediate resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her entire cabinet. The Alliance argues that the current government has lost its legitimacy due to its handling of the protests and its inability to address the students' concerns effectively. They also call for the dissolution of the current parliament, which they believe is necessary to pave the way for meaningful political stability. The Alliance proposes the formation of a neutral interim government that includes representatives from all political parties and respected citizens. This temporary government would oversee the country until a new, democratically elected government can take office.

This measure, they argue, is crucial to ensuring fair and unbiased governance during this transitional period. Furthermore, the Student Alliance demands the establishment of a judicial commission to investigate the deaths and injuries resulting from the government's crackdown on protesters. They insist that those responsible for the violence be held accountable through fair and transparent trials. This demand underscores the Alliance's commitment to justice for the victims and their families. Another important demand is the formation of a national commission to review and reform the quota system across all sectors. The Alliance believes that a thorough and logical reform of the quota system is necessary to create a fair and equitable system that addresses the needs and concerns of all stakeholders. Finally, the Alliance calls for the interim government to organize free and fair national elections as soon as possible. They emphasize that these elections should only take place after necessary amendments to the constitution and reforms to the electoral system are made to ensure democratic integrity. The goal is to restore public trust in the electoral process and ensure that the people's voices are heard. Around 400 students have signed the demand so far, and the organization says the number is rising.

The Student Alliance of Bangladesh's demands show their deep frustration with the current government and their desire for a more democratic and fair political system. They ask the international community to notice the crisis in Bangladesh and support efforts to bring peace and democracy back to the country. With Bangladesh still under curfew and communication channels cut off, the Student Alliance continues to push for these changes to prevent more violence and restore stability. The next few days will be crucial in determining whether the government will listen to these demands or if the country will face further trouble.
