Hindus in Bangladesh Demonstrate Against Violence; Muhammad Yunus Reacts

New Delhi: 

Following hasina’s Sheikh H resignation as prime minister and her flight to India, thousands of Hindus in Bangladesh have taken to the streets in protest against the continued attacks on their community.

Thousands of people attended the big marches on Saturday in Chittagong, the country’s second-largest city, and Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh.

Since the fall of the Hasina-led government on August 5, members of minority communities in violence-plagued Bangladesh have experienced over 205 incidents of attacks across 52 districts.

It is thought that attacks on the homes and businesses of hundreds of Hindus resulted in injuries.

At least two Hindu figures connected to Ms. Hasina’s Awami League party have been slain in the rioting, and other Hindu temples have also been vandalized.

In an attempt to escape the bloodshed, thousands of Hindus from Bangladesh have also been seeking to enter neighboring India.

The Hindu demonstrators’ rally at Shahbagh in the city’s center blocked traffic for more than three hours as they demanded, among other things, the creation of a minority protection law, special tribunals to expedite the trials of those who persecute minorities, and 10% of parliamentary seats for minorities.

They were joined by thousands of Muslim protestors, including students, who came to show support for the rights of minorities.

A massive crowd gathered at the famous Cheragi Pahar Square in Chittagong.

Prof. Muhammad Yunus, the “chief adviser” and head of Bangladesh’s interim government, denounced the attacks on minority communities on Saturday, branding them as “heinous.” “Are they not citizens of this nation? He questioned, “You have been able to save the country, can’t you save some families?” as the Hindu community staged its largest-ever protest, demanding justice and safety.

The interim administration of Bangladesh has named Salehuddin Ahmed as its financial and planning adviser. He has declared that reviving the economy and keeping it from stagnating is the top priority. Ahmed, a former governor of Bangladesh Bank, was tasked by interim leader Muhammad Yunus, who unveiled the 16-member council of advisers’ portfolios on Friday, with managing the ministries of finance and planning.

The Awami League government led by Sheikh Hasina fell on August 5 as a result of massive demonstrations over her administration’s divisive employment quota policy. The interim government was then formed.
