‘Are they not citizens of this country?': Bangladesh's Muhammad Yunus condemns ‘heinous’ attack on minorities
Hindustan TimesMuhammad Yunus, the leader of Bangladesh's caretaker government, on Saturday unequivocally condemned the ongoing attacks targeting the crisis-hit nation's minority communities, particularly Hindus, as ‘heinous.’ Nobel laureate and chief adviser of Bangladesh's new interim government, Muhammad Yunus, visits slain Abu Sayeed's house, who was killed by police during the anti-quota protests, in Rangpur on August 10, 2024. Also, the renowned economist, 84, who earlier accepted a call by student leaders to head Bangladesh's interim administration – the caretaker arrangement was necessitated by the ouster of the Sheikh Hasina-led government by a student-led uprising against her – cautioned that the attacks on minorities could be a ‘sabotage’ by those seeking to ‘undermine their progress.’ “There are many standing by to make your efforts futile. According to two Hindu organisations – Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council and the Bangladesh Puja Udjapan Parishad – there have been at least 205 attacks on members of minorities communities in 52 districts since the government of Sheikh Hasina fell. Hindus are the largest minority group in Bangladesh, accounting for around 8% of the total population of 170 million of India's neighbour in the east.
