Bangladesh’s Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has blamed her political opponents for the deadly unrest in the country, adding she was “forced” to impose a curfew for public safety.
“I never wanted it,” she said in a meeting with business leaders in the capital Dhaka. “We will lift the curfew whenever the situation gets better.”
Her comments come a day after Bangladesh’s top court scrapped most of the quotas on government jobs, which have sparked weeks of violent clashes across the country.
