Hasina Blames Yunus for Extremism, Anti-Hindu Attacks; Urges India's Intervention

  • Former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina accuses interim leader Muhammad Yunus of fostering religious extremism and mob mentality, leading to attacks on minorities.
  • Hasina highlights systematic attacks on Hindus, Christians, Buddhists, and Ahmadiyya Muslims, citing the killing of Dipu Das and vandalism of religious sites.
  • She alleges Yunus's government deliberately stokes anti-India sentiment to deflect from internal failures and misgovernance, straining bilateral ties.
  • Hasina urges India to firmly support democracy, minority rights, regional peace, and free, fair, and inclusive elections in Bangladesh.
