Bangladesh government in trouble over attacks on Hindus!
Three months after former Bangladeshi prime minister Sheikh Hasina left bangladesh, the political situation there has not stabilized. Sheikh Hasina's party Awami League has approached the Netherlands-based international Criminal court (ICC) against interim government chief advisor Mohammad Yunus and 61 others.
'Massacre happened in the name of movement'
Awami League leader and former Sylhet mayor Anwaruzzaman Chowdhury issued a video message saying, "From 5 to 8 August, a brutal massacre took place in the name of student movement in bangladesh, in which Awami League leaders and workers and its various allies, Hindus, Christians, Buddhists living in bangladesh and the bangladesh Police Force were targeted. We have submitted all the facts and evidence to the ICC in this regard."
800-page document sent to international Court
Apart from Mohammad Yunus, the accused include all the members of his cabinet and the protesting student leaders. In a video message, the Awami League leader said that he has attached a document of about 800 pages in the complaint made to the ICC. He said that soon 15 thousand more complaints will be lodged in the international Criminal court, for which preparations are underway. He said that the victims of this violence will file complaints one by one.
Awami League not allowed to organize rally
The interim government of bangladesh on saturday (9 november 2024) termed the Awami League as fascist and said that it would not allow the party of ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina to organize the proposed rally on sunday (10 november 2024). Shafiqul Alam, press secretary of Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus, said in a facebook post that the interim government would not tolerate any kind of violence or any attempt to disrupt law and order in the country.
Alam warned, "Anyone who tries to organise rallies, meetings and processions taking orders from mass murderer and dictator Sheikh Hasina will have to face the full brunt of the law enforcement agencies."
