Following the recent political upheaval in Bangladesh, violence has escalated on the streets as anti-Hasina mobs target supporters of the Awami League (BAL) party. The mobs, primarily comprised of members from the BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami, have engaged in brutal attacks, including beatings, hostage-taking, and vandalism of memorials dedicated to the nation’s founding father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The violence has been particularly directed at BAL supporters who were commemorating Mujib’s death anniversary, highlighting the ongoing political tensions and the struggle for power in Bangladesh.

After weeks of protests and a deadly crackdown, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled the country. Protesters, fueled by anger against her rule, stormed government buildings and toppled the statue of her father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the revered ‘Father of the Nation’. The events draw parallels to the fall of Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
