Amid reports on attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh, interim leader Muhammad Yunus asked the minority community not to say, “I’m Hindu, not protecting me”. Rather, he emphasized that Hindus should confirm their rights as a citizen in Bangladesh, rather than calling for protection based on their ‘religion’. Watch the video here: When Sheikh Hasina was discharged in 2024, Muhammad Yunus had the task of reviving Bangladesh’s struggling economy. One of his most important challenges was to reform the country’s foreign policy in accordance with these renewed priorities. However, Yunus seems to be rapidly on the streets and the increasing political influence of extremist factions before the growing anti-Indian sentiment and the increasing political influence of extremist factions. Great concern was rising attacks on Hindu minorities and vandalism of Hindu temples.

After the biggest political party was in Bangladesh, the Awami League has been banned since the leader Sheikh Hasina was overthrown in a mass uprising last year.

You can’t go with it. False news, “Yunus said in an interview with journalist Mehdi Hasan, and responds to protests by Hindus and international criticism, including a statement from US President Donald Trump, who called the violence in Bangladesh ‘barbaric’. When Hasan documented cases of crowd attacks, vandalism of temples and the arrest of a Hindu monk quoted for raising a religious flag, Yunus doubled. He even made an incompetent claim about India and said: ‘One of India’s specialties is currently false news. Well, barrage of fake news. ‘ Attack on Hindus in Bangladesh: Data speaks no lie about the attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh. The situation worsened in April 2025 when a Hindu community leader was kidnapped and killed. By July, human rights groups have documented more than 2400 incidents aimed at minorities, including murder, torture, rape and forced conversion, since August 2024. Human Rights Watch, in a statement on July 30, said the interim government spent a short time in implementing its challenging human rights agenda. ‘It is said that violations against ethnic and other minority groups continue in some parts of Bangladesh. In August, Foreign Minister Kirti Vardhan Singh told Parliament in August that the Indian government had marked at least 3,582 incidents against minorities in Bangladesh since 2021. Singh said the government said the government monitors and Atrocistan against religious minorities in neighboring countries, including Bangladesher Afghanistan. “The government of India has shared its concerns about the case with the government of Bangladesh, also at the highest levels, with the expectation that the government of Bangladesh will take all necessary measures to ensure the safety and well -being of Hindus and other minorities,” he said. Singh also noted that India is concerned about Pakistan over 334 major incidents of minor harassed violence. In October 2025, Fresh reports popped up with the accusation of the Bangladesh army of violence against indigenous communities, including Hindus and Buddhists. On October 2, who addressed the 60th UN -Hens Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva, Suhas Chakma, director of the Rights and Risks Analysis group, accused the Bangladesh army of the death of at least three indigenous population and 40 others in Guima Village in the Chittagong Hill Tracks (CHT) on September 28. One year on Shey on Bangladesh’s maintenance remains an instability. Bangladesh of Hasina, Bangladesh, continues to seize by political and social instability. Election -related disputes, increasing crowd violence, attacks on opposition groups and the increasing hostility towards minority communities have sharpened everyone under Yunus. Yunus is locked up in a position with the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), led by former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia. The GNP insists on electing elections in December or February, while Yunus insisted that they do not take place before April. Meanwhile, the interim government has opened political space for Islamic groups that were once suppressed under Hasina. At the same time, student leaders who led the rebellion of 2024 launched a new political party and demanded deep election reforms and even a rewrite constitution. They warned that no election would be accepted unless these claims meet, AP reports. Meanwhile, many loud Islamists have either fled or released in jail, and the James-E-Islami, the country’s largest Islamic party, which has a controversial past, is now striving for a role in government. First of all, this is fake news. You can’t go with it. Fake news. It often criticizes the BNP, which compares it to Hasina’s Awami League, and recently held a massive rally in Dhaka as a power show. Critics fear that the greater influence of the Islamic forces could further fragment the political landscape of Bangladesh. (With input of agencies)
