Iranian acting FM welcome establishment of peace in Bangladesh

 Bagheri Kani wrote on Monday: I welcome the establishment of peace in Bangladesh our friendly country and wish success to my brother Md. Touhid Hossain, Adviser to the Bangladesh Interim Government for Foreign Affairs.

The unrest gripped the South Asian nation early last month after a high court ruling that allowed the government to go ahead with its plan for the job quota system.

The demonstrations began with students seeking to end a quota system for government jobs, but clashes with police and pro-government activists escalated into violence that left more than 200 dead last month.

That triggered more protests demanding accountability from the government, which have grown into calls for Hasina, who has been leading the country since 2009, to step down.

Hasina fled the country as anti-government protesters vowed to march to the capital to demand her resignation. She had described the demonstrators as “terrorists”. She is currently in India and likely to leave for the United Kingdom.
