Bangladesh coup completes one month
One month has passed since the coup in Bangladesh. A lot has changed in the neighboring country in this one month. Former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina has been in India for a month. Nearly 33 cases have been registered against her in Bangladesh. This includes 27 cases of murder, four cases of crimes against humanity and genocide and one case of kidnapping.
Attacks on Awami League workers
After widespread violence and anti-reservation movement, the leadership in Bangladesh is now in the hands of an interim government headed by 84-year-old Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus. There are constant reports of attacks on Awami League leaders and workers. Sheikh Hasina’s party alleges that these attacks are being carried out by Jamaat-e-Islami.
Hindu minorities were targeted
In a month, a large number of Hindus were targeted in Bangladesh and their religious places were destroyed. The Indian government has asked the interim government of Bangladesh to ensure the safety of Hindu minorities. Chief Advisor of the interim government of Bangladesh Muhammad Yunus has said that the issue of attacks on minority Hindus in his country is being exaggerated and he has questioned the way India is presenting it.
More than 230 people died in the violence
More than 230 people have been killed in incidents of violence that erupted across the country after the fall of the Hasina government in Bangladesh. The death toll has risen to more than 600 since massive protests began in mid-July by students against the controversial quota system in government jobs.
