Violent protests in Bangladesh have taken a destructive turn as demonstrators targeted the ancestral home of the country’s founding father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, and properties linked to Awami League leaders. The unrest escalated on Thursday, with protesters resuming the demolition of Rahman’s house in Dhaka’s Dhanmondi area, which had been converted into a memorial museum.
The house was previously vandalized and set on fire on Wednesday night, following a social media call for a “Bulldozer Procession.” The rally coincided with an online address by former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Rahman’s daughter and current Awami League leader. Protesters also defaced murals of Rahman and demolished homes of several Awami League leaders, intensifying the political turmoil.
The demonstrations reflect growing tensions in Bangladesh, with protesters expressing dissatisfaction with the current political climate. The targeting of Rahman’s house, a symbol of the nation’s independence, has sparked outrage among citizens and political analysts alike.
Authorities have yet to comment on the situation, but the violence has raised concerns about further instability. The incident underscores the deep-rooted political divisions in the country and the challenges faced by the ruling party.
As the situation unfolds, the international community is closely monitoring developments in Bangladesh, with calls for restraint and dialogue to prevent further escalation.
