On the other hand, amid violence against the minority Hindu community in Bangladesh, the spokesperson of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that he is against any attack or violence on racial grounds. Deputy spokesperson of the Secretary-General Farhan Haq said on Thursday, ‘We have made it clear, we want to ensure that the violence that has been taking place in Bangladesh in recent weeks is pacified. Of course, we are against any racially based attack or inciting violence on racial grounds.’
He was responding to a question on the Secretary-General’s reaction to attacks on Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh. Several Hindu temples, homes and businesses have been targeted since violence broke out in Bangladesh.
232 people died in the violence
At least two Hindu leaders associated with the Awami League party of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina have been killed in the violence. On Monday, the anti-reservation movement in Bangladesh turned violent, after which Sheikh Hasina had to resign from the post of PM and flee the country.
Since Hasina left the country, Bangladesh media reports have highlighted several cases of violence against minorities, including large-scale vandalism at the residence of Rahul Anand, head of the popular folk band Jollar Gaan, on Monday.
After the attack, the singer and his family were forced to go into hiding. However, Hindus are not the only ones who have been targeted. At least 232 people were killed in incidents of violence that erupted in Bangladesh on Monday.
Sheikh Hasina is currently in India
As Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus was sworn in as head of the interim government, Farhan Haq referred to the UN’s hopes for “an inclusive process of government formation.” “Our hopes remain. Of course, a reduction in violence and more restraint among the people is a good thing,” he said.
Sheikh Hasina is currently living in India but there is confusion about where she will go. It is not clear yet whether she will stay in India, seek asylum in another country or return to Bangladesh.
