Sheikh Hasina

The BNP leader claimed that India's provision of shelter to Sheikh Hasina violates its commitment to democracy. According to Fakhrul, 'fascist' deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled the country due to the student-led 'revolution'.

Downplaying the anti-Hindu violence in Bangladesh, The New Yorker’s reporter Isaac Chotiner said that there are ‘fears’ that Hindus have been targeted in this ‘revolution. This comes despite the fact that more than 205 attacks on Hindus by Islamist mobs have been reported.

While responding to a query on atrocities against Hindu Americans and Hindus in Bangladesh, the official White House Spokesperson said that they are continuing to monitor the situation but they don’t have anything else to add.

While the denouncement of the ongoing violence against Hindus in Bangladesh is appreciated, Vivek Ramaswamy missed some crucial points in his post. The 2024 anti-quota protests led by students were never anti-government protests since it was the Sheikh Hasina-led government which scrapped the quota for government jobs.

Following the incident on 5th August, sources linked with family of Rahul Anand family and the founding member of the band had mentioned that a mob attacked and “torched” the musician’s house.

However, the removal of his picture from the PCI office triggered an outrage on social media. Facing backlash for the act, his picture was reinstated at its original place.

The interim government in Bangladesh said Sheikh Hasina's stay in India won't impact the bilateral ties between the two countries.

Bangladesh Home Affairs Adviser Brigadier General (retd) M Sakhawat Hossain warned that the media outlets would face closure if they indulged in flattery/sycophancy or provided misleading news.

Sheikh Hasina said that she refused to hand over Saint Martin Island to the US which would have enabled the western superpower to have “sway over the Bay of Bengal”.

Wazed termed the new government was unconstitutional because the Bangladeshi constitution states that a non-elected government cannot remain in power.
