DHAKA -- Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned Monday and fled to neighboring India after the country was plunged into its worst political violence in decades.
The 76-year-old Hasina, daughter of Bangladesh's founding father and one of the world's longest-serving female leaders, was flown out of the country after protesters stormed her official residence in the capital Dhaka where mounting protests demanded that she quit.
