Thousands protested in Bangladesh, culminating in the burning of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's home. Ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, speaking from exile, urged supporters to resist the interim government. The protesters, many from 'Students Against Discrimination', vandalized the house, a symbol of Bangladesh's independence, as they expressed anger towards Hasina's past government. The caretaker government is struggling to maintain order amidst rising violence against Hasina's supporters and property, reflecting a significant escalation of tensions in the nation.
They do not have the power to destroy the country's independence with bulldozers. They may destroy a building, but they won't be able to erase the history.
The house was where Bangladesh's independence leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman declared the country's formal break from Pakistan in 1971.
The country's caretaker government, led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, has been struggling to prevent mob justice against Hasina's supporters.
Many of the protesters targeting the home of Bangladesh's founding leader are aligned with the 'Students Against Discrimination' group.
