Many Hindu temples were targeted in the violence
Many Hindu temples, homes and businesses have been targeted after violence broke out in Bangladesh. At least two Hindu leaders associated with former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League party have been killed in the violence. The student protests that started in Bangladesh over job quota led to the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government. She was forced to flee the country.
Command of interim government in the hands of Mohammad Yunus
After Hasina left the country, at least 232 people were killed in nationwide violence. The rioters targeted Hindus, their religious places and business establishments. Many police stations were set on fire, and deadly attacks were made on policemen. In protest, Bangladesh Police employees went on an indefinite strike. Now that an interim government has been formed in Bangladesh under the leadership of Nobel laureate Mohammad Yunus, efforts are also being made to restore normalcy in the country.
