Bangladesh is in chaos
The situation in Bangladesh is so bad that people are living in fear. People’s houses are being looted. People are staying awake in their homes all night. They are afraid that the robbers might target their house. This situation is not only in the capital of Bangladesh, Dhaka, but similar incidents are coming from every corner of Bangladesh. The situation is so bad that the robbers are coming in trucks and targeting the entire area. Along with looting the houses, incidents of rape of women are also coming to the fore. Houses are being set on fire. The miscreants are so fearless that they are not sparing anyone, be it the officials or the leaders. Hindus are also being targeted. Temples are being demolished.
