Bangladesh is burning in the fire of violence. After continuous violent protests in the past few days, Sheikh Hasina resigned from the post of Prime Minister on Monday and secretly left the country and came to India. Amidst all this, shocking pictures are also coming from America. The reason is that the protesters attacked the Bangladesh Consulate in New York and removed the picture of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The video of this incident is also going viral.
In the video, protesters can be seen entering the building and removing the picture of the founder of Bangladesh. However, it is not yet clear why the Bangladesh Consulate in the US was attacked, away from the violence-hit country. A video of the incident shows protesters, some of whom are wearing caps in the colors of the Bangladesh flag, and creating a ruckus. Some people can also be seen removing many items from the consulate office. At the same time, the officials present in the embassy seem helpless in front of these protesters. Some are folding their hands while others are seen trying to calm them down.
Let us tell you that on Monday, protesters in Bangladesh broke the statue of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman with a hammer. Apart from this, some protesters also attacked the Parliament House and looted property and vandalized it while raising slogans. Apart from this, videos of protesters lying on beds at Sheikh Hasina’s official residence, taking away furniture and valuables and raiding the kitchen are also going viral on social media.
