According to a police report, the majority of the problems on minorities in Bangladesh since Sheikh Hasina’s resignation were “political in nature; instead, they were not communal in nature.”
The Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council reported that, according to the Daily Star, there were 1,769 instances of communal violence and vandalism among minority in Bangladesh.
According to the statement, authorities have recorded 62 cases and arrested at least 35 people among the reported instances of collective violence against immigrants in Bangladesh since August 4, 2024, according to the report.
Studies found that most assaults on minority in Bangladesh were politically motivated rather than communally motivated, with only 20 incidents labeled as collective and 1, 234 incidents labeled as political. Additionally, the report said that at least 161 says of assaults were false, while the Council reported that 1, 452 incidents—82.8 % of the total—occurred on August 5, 2024, the evening Sheikh Hasina was ousted from power, the regular star reported.
According to the report, 65 detention and 53 cases have been filed. Nevertheless, since August 4, there have been 115 listed issues of social problems, resulting in the imprisonment of at least 100 people.
The time administration reiterated its zero tolerance policy against social violence.
” The state has even stated that it will pay the patients,” the statement continued. The interim government attaches the highest relevance to the establishment of animal rights independent of religion, colour, nationality, sexual or gender”, said chief lawyer’s assistant press secretary Abul Kalam Azad Majumder.
Following the collapse of Hasina state, India at many times has expressed worries over the protection of minorities, especially Hindus, who were frequently seen as supporters of Hasina’s Awami League.
The imprisonment of Iskcon preacher Chinmoy Krishna Das over a sedition command, which stemmed from a protest where a yellow flag was hung above Bangladesh’s national symbol, more sparked fears of discrimination against minorities in the South Asian nation, which attracted the country’s condemnation.
The interim Bangladesh government has refuted these claims, with government adviser Muhammad Yunus claiming that violence against minorities had only occurred in” some cases” and that the majority of complaints were” completely exaggerated.”
