"If the situation gets better, there is no need for emergency", he said, vowing the new authorities would"prosecute all murders" following weeks of deadly protests.Bedecked with medal ribbons on his green uniform, the mild-looking and spectacle-wearing officer was appointed to the military's top job as chief of army staff earlier this year.Bangladesh media reported that Sheikh Hasina along with her sister has fled the country in a helicopter to India.
"Your duty is to keep our people safe and our country safe and to uphold the constitution," her son, US-based Sajeeb Wazed Joy, said in a post on Facebook.Security forces had supported Hasina's government throughout the unrest, which began last month against civil service job quotas then escalated into wider calls for her to stand down.At least 94 people were killed on Sunday, including 14 police officers, in the deadliest day of the unrest.
The military declared an emergency in January 2007 after widespread political unrest and installed a military-backed caretaker government for two years.Hasina has ruled Bangladesh since 2009 and won her fourth consecutive election in January after a vote without genuine opposition. "The time has come for the final protest," said Asif Mahmud, one of the key leaders in the nationwide civil disobedience campaign.
