Attacks on Hindus
Members of minority communities in Bangladesh faced at least 205 incidents of attacks in 52 districts since the fall of the Sheikh Hasina-led government on August 5, according to two Hindu organisations in the violence-hit nation.
The Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council and the Bangladesh Puja Udjapan Parishad on Friday presented the data in an open letter to 84-year-old Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, who was sworn in as the head of an interim government, The Daily Star newspaper reported.
Ouster of Sheikh Hasina
Bangladesh‘s embattled Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled the country on Monday after a month-long student protest over reservations in government jobs leading to a situation of anarchy and unrest. Hasina landed at Hindon Airbase on the outskirts of Delhi and may seek asylum in the United Kingdom, as per reports.
President Mohammed Shahabuddin announced the dissolution of the Parliament which was formed after elections in January 2024. Former prime minister and political rival of Sheikh Hasina, Khaleda Zia was also freed from jail following massive protests and unrest across Bangladesh.
