NEW DELHI: Two days after Bangladesh's interim government took charge, the country saw significant developments, including the country's top judge resigning on Saturday following an ultimatum from protesters. Additionally, Hindu minorities protested attacks against them and called for their right to safety and coexistence, while concerns grew over Chinese surveillance near the Bay of Bengal. On Saturday, Bangladesh's Chief Justice, Obaidul Hassan, along with five Appellate judges, resigned "in principle" following an ultimatum from protesters, who threatened to besiege the residences of the Chief Justice and the Appellate Division judges if their demands were not met. Justice Syed Refaat Ahmed, the senior-most judge of the High Court Division of the Supreme Court, was initially appointed as a judge of the Appellate Division before being elevated to the position of Chief Justice.
