DHAKA: Former PM Sheikh Hasina Wajid’s escape has intensified protests in Bangladesh as protesters intensified violent attacks on Hindu temples and residences of Hindus to show their anger against India for backing Hasina Wajid.
The anger of Bengalis toward India reveals frustration over perceived interference in their country, leading to demands for India to re-evaluate its policies.
The local protesters carried out attacks on Hindu residences and temples in Bangladesh.
Meanwhile, in West Bengal, the rage has resulted in deadly fights as Bengalis threw stones at Hindu residences and chanted insulting phrases about India.
The vandalism of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s statues reflects the general anger against Sheikh Hasina’s repressive policies towards the masses including cutting down the students’ quotas and diminishing employment opportunities.
The public’s anger also reflects the Indian-influenced Bangladesh Awami League’s policies that deprived people of their basic rights.
India’s political investments in Bangladesh, which were meant to advance its own interests, are now backfiring, causing India to refrain from interfering in other countries’ internal affairs.
