The interim government of Bangladesh, according to Md Touhid Hossain, the country’s foreign affairs assistant, is taking all necessary steps to ensure the safety and protection of its members on Tuesday, adding that” Hindus in Bangladesh are likewise our people.”
This is incorrect because any acts of violence committed against Hindus are being shown as such. I believe American internet needs to stop hypeing up this issue. In response to reports of attacks on minority and Hindus in Bangladesh and the steps taken by the time government led by Mohammad Yunus, Hossain said,” We are doing everything possible to protect our members, and Hindus are our people, and we are taking care of them.”
Sheikh Hasina was removed from power in Bangladesh just amid widespread student protests, which sparked a global anti-government movement. Eventually, an interim government was formed to control the nation. During this period of volatility, numerous incidents of violence and illness have been reported, with immigrants, including Hindus, being targeted.
Protesters chanting slogans against Muhammad Yunus, the chief advisor to the Bangladesh government, as he arrived at the official hotel in New York for the 79th UN General Assembly ( UNGA ) session gathered near him. The demonstrators shouted,” Come back, Step over, Step down, Step down” and displayed banners stating” Shiekh Hasina Our Prime Minister”. Yunus was accused of participating in reported strikes against minorities in Bangladesh by the protesters.
Following Sheikh Hasina’s exit from the nation and the breakdown of the parliament, the 84-year-old Nobel Laureate took over the helm of an interim federal on August 8. The activists claimed that Yunus came to power through “dirty elections” and in an unlawful and illegitimate way.
” Muhammad Yunus took the power unconstitutionally, improperly. He seized power through dishonest elections, and many people have died as a result. Thus far, our elected PM Sheikh Hasina has not resigned. We request UN respectfully that he did not represent Bangladeshi individuals here”, a rioter, told media firm ANI.
