DHAKA, Aug 4 (Reuters) -The government of Bangladesh declared an indefinite nationwide curfew starting at 6 p.m. (1200 GMT) on Sunday, the first time it has taken such a step during the current protests that began last month.

At least 73 people were killed and hundreds injured in clashes in Bangladesh on Sunday, as police fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse tens of thousands of protesters calling for Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to resign.

It also announced a three-day general holiday starting from Monday.

Number of Sri Lankans in Bangladesh: less than 500, Number of Sri Lankans in Britain : More than 50,000. Yet you are reporting of riots in BD and no coverage about riots in Britain. A black guy killed white children last week but the Whites have turned against the whole Asians. So many Sri Lankan shops have been torched and we are living in fear inside our houses frightened to go out.

For them black or Asian does not matter. It was a son of an immigrant form Rwanda who killed those children and they had enough of immigrants who were trying to change the way the British live. Look at the Islamists in London how they disturb the way of life there. If you go there, you need to get integrated into their society and you live and you let them live too. In this case one of your guys did not let many of their beloved children live so this is their response in reminding you what will happen to you if you bring in too much of your own culture into their country.

Not every leader is like GR who step down without using a live bullet targeting the so called 'protesters'!

It would be the eighth wonder of the world if an Asian politician resigned and gave up their money making opportunity.

If leaders love their country and the public too, then they will have an understanding do nothing to harm the country and damage it's image.
