Dhaka Bangladesh declares "emergency"..!?

Question

My fiancee, who lives in Dhaka, mentioned to me about the President of Bangladesh declaring "emergency" a day of so ago.

What happened and what was this state of "Emergency" about...?

For that I was very worried for him because he was traveling south to Chittagong to a town of Jessore to visit some of his fisheries...I pray he and his business associates get back safely..

Answer 1

The president declared emergency in the wake of the Awami League-led alliance’s boycott of the parliamentary elections and series of siege and strike programmes meant for resisting the polls.

According to article 141B, the issuance of proclamation of emergency automatically suspends the operation of the fundamental rights to freedom of movement, freedom of assembly, freedom of association, freedom of thought and conscience, and of speech, freedom of profession and occupation and rights to property

Update as on 13th January:

People returned to the streets after the overnight curfew ended Soldiers are enforcing a state of emergency in Bangladesh, a day after it was imposed by the president. President Iajuddin Ahmed also quit as interim leader and postponed a planned 22 January vote, saying it was "not possible" to hold it on schedule.

Former central bank governor Fakhruddin Ahmed has been sworn in as the head of a new interim government. The moves follow months of violent protests amid claims by a political alliance that the vote is being rigged. Across the country the violence has left more than 40 people dead.

Following the lifting of an overnight curfew early on Friday morning, the streets of Dhaka are again full of traffic, correspondents say.

Concerns: The state of emergency has raised concerns in a country which has experienced periods of military rule and coup attempts since independence from Pakistan in 1971.

Under the emergency, some basic rights under the constitution, including freedom of movement, assembly and speech, are suspended.

Under the Bangladesh constitution the caretaker government must organize elections within 90 days - Thursday's developments take the country into uncertain and uncharted territory.

Dr Ahmed, the new leader, will appoint a new cabinet.

Many Bangladeshis said the president's decision could help end the political impasse in the country.

Change needed: Mr. Ahmed did not specify a new general election date, but made clear there should be key changes before the vote is held.

Answer 2

The caretaker ogvernment have been under pressure from one of the Political parties, who say the coming elections are rigged in favour of the Nationalist party.
The EU has pulled its support, declaring the Election 'questionable' and a state of emergency was indeed declared. Today, the President stood down from government, prompting talks of military action.
