Former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, has loudly condemned recent happenings in Bangladesh. They included the arrest of Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das, the violent killing of a lawyer in Chittagong, and attacks on religious sites. She described those acts as grave violations of human rights and appealed to the people to come together against the increasing anarchy at the hands of the present interim government headed by Muhammad Yunus.
Sheikh Hasina: The Arrest of Chinmoy Krishna Das Sparks Outrage
Sheikh Hasina termed the arrest of Chinmoy Krishna Das “unjust,” condemning the detention of the former ISKCON member at Dhaka airport. The monk was denied bail shortly after his arrest, and public anger intensified. Protests erupted nationwide, with demonstrators demanding his immediate release.
Hasina sought justice and asked the caretaker government to raise its voice for religious freedom and all the rights of the community. “This arrest is violating our country’s commitment toward tolerance and respect of diversity,” she said.
Sheikh Hasina Chittagong violence: Lawyer’s tragic death
Another incident Hasina said she remembered was the murder of an attorney in Chittagong. The attorney was beaten to death while performing his professional duty, reports said. She called the terrorists and demanded punishment for the wrongdoers.
“A lawyer went there to discharge his duties and was mercilessly butcher. That is a gross violation of human rights, and people responsible for it must meet justice,” Hasina said.
Sheikh Hasina: Religious Sites Attack
Religious institutions are not spare. A Hindu temple burnt in Chittagong. Hasina reminds everyone of how mosques, shrines, churches, monasteries, and Ahmadiyya community houses attack and plunder earlier. She condemned the interim government for failing to safeguard the religious minorities.
Hasina stressed the importance of freedom of religion, saying nobody needs to feel unsafe in one’s place of worship and home. The government will have to ensure that there is no repetition of attacks at such places.
Criticism by the Interim Government Toward Governance
Claiming inefficiency and incapacity on the part of Yunus-led governments, Hasina says they failed to tackle the economy or bring the everyday commodities under control. “The provisional administration cannot give even bare security of life to the commoners. In fact, it encourages bloodbath and chaos,” she further said.
“The power grabbers have failed in every area. Prices are skyrocketing, violence is uncheck and the lives of ordinary people are under risk. The government is torturing people directly and indirectly,” she added.
