An interim government will be set up to run Bangladesh after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned Monday amid protests in the South Asian country, according to army chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman.
Zaman said in the Bangladeshi capital on Monday afternoon.
Zaman said Hasina has resigned, which confirmed media reports earlier about Hasina's step-down.
Hasina, 76, took office for her fourth straight five-year term as the country's prime minister in January this year after her ruling Bangladesh Awami League (AL) party won a landslide victory in the parliamentary elections.
