Bangladesh Violence Surges After Hasina Resignation

Following the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her flight to India, Bangladesh has been engulfed in violence targeting its Hindu minority, with over 205 incidents of attacks reported across 52 districts. Protests by Hindus and other minorities have erupted in Dhaka and Chittagong, demanding protection, justice, and the establishment of special tribunals and minority protection laws. Interim government head Muhammad Yunus has condemned the attacks, calling them 'heinous,' but Hindu leaders are urging him to take decisive action. Various international and Indian political figures, including Congress, RSS, and US lawmakers, have called for intervention and protection of minorities. Thousands of Hindus are attempting to flee to India for safety, prompting increased security measures along the India-Bangladesh border.
