Former Bangladesh Prime Minister and President of the Bangladesh Awami League, Sheikh Hasina, condemned the “illegal” interim government led by Muhammad Yunus for committing heinous acts against non-Muslims. Hasina expressed deep concern over the government’s actions, including burning religious minorities alive. She emphasized the importance of communal harmony and equal rights for all faiths in Bangladesh, a vision set by the Father of the Nation.
Hasina’s message, shared by the Awami League party on social media, highlighted the current government’s infringement on religious freedom and its atrocities against non-Muslims. She called on the people of Bangladesh to resist this oppression and not allow such dark times to persist. Recent incidents, such as the lynching of Hindu individuals like Amrit Mondal and Dipu Chandra Das, have drawn international criticism and exposed the unchecked spread of hatred and extremism in the country.
The Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council reported over 2,400 cases of violence against minorities and the desecration of more than 150 temples within a year. Various organizations have denounced Yunus for the brutal attacks, warning that Bangladesh is spiraling into savagery, particularly affecting the Hindu community. The incidents underscore the ongoing challenges posed by extremism and intolerance in the region.
