DHAKA (Reuters): Bangladesh's parliament was dissolved on Tuesday, the president's office said in a statement, a day after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled the country following violent protests demanding her ouster.
Opposition leader and head of Bangladesh Nationalist Party Began Khaleda Zia was also released from a jail.
The announcement came hours after protesting student leaders set a deadline to dissolve parliament and warned a "strict programme" would be launched if their deadline is not met.
