ISKCON temple in Meherpur , located in the Khulna Division of the country, has been set ablaze along with idols of deities including Lord Jagannath, Baladev and Subhadra Devi .

Some devotees living in the temple managed to escape the chaos and survive as violent protests gripped the country on Monday , culminating in Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina 's resignation.

The Indian government has also expressed concerns about the situation of minorities in Bangladesh .

Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman held talks with leaders of major political parties to discuss the way ahead.

He said it was "unanimously decided" to immediately release BNP chairperson and Hasina 's long-time nemesis, Khaleda Zia , who was convicted and jailed in a graft case in 2018 .

A BNP spokesperson said Zia was in hospital and "will clear all charges legally and come out soon".
