Sheikh Hasina Slams Yunus Govt: Perpetrating Unspeakable Atrocities Against Minorities | Bangladesh

In a Christmas message, former Bangladesh Prime Minister and Awami League President Sheikh Hasina has strongly condemned the interim government led by Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus, accusing it of failing to protect religious minorities. Hasina stated that the government is perpetrating 'unspeakable atrocities against non-Muslims. It has even set horrific precedents such as burning religious minorities to death.' The statement references recent violence, including the lynching of a Hindu man, and accuses the government of interfering with the religious freedoms of all communities. The 78-year-old leader, who was deposed in August 2024, asserted her belief that the people of Bangladesh will not allow this 'dark time' to continue, highlighting a period of fresh violence targeting Hindus, Christians, and Buddhists by radical Islamists.
