When regimes collapse, everything is flung open. Protestors are out breaking the law and order. The current situation of Bangladesh somewhat resembles the situation of Sri Lanka, where students and people were out on roads to protest against Gotabaya Rajapaksa in 2022.
But the situation of Bangladesh, after PM Hasina’s resignation has only worsened. Soon after the news of PM Sheikh Hasina resigning and fleeing to India became widespread, protestors looted and ransacked the PM’s official residence. The images and videos circulating over social media showed people destroying and taking Hasina’s belongings, like furniture, paintings, luggage and clothing.
A woman carrying a luxury travel bag was seen smiling. The post captioned,” Looted a Dior bag from Gano Bhaban.”
Apart from all the luxury belongings, even undergarments were also looted by the protesters. The post immediately went viral on social media, earning a lot of criticism from netizens.
Father of Nation Statue Vandalized
Protesters were also seen climbing the ‘Father of Nation’ statue of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, former President of Bangladesh and father of Sheikh Hasina. The outrage was so violent that they destroyed the statues with hammer and cranes.
A viral video showed a man climbed atop the statue and peeing on it.
Strongly reacting to the video, Bollywood actress and Mandi MP Kangana Ranaut took to her social media and slammed the protestors.
In her another story, she also lashed out her anger for beating animals in the zoo.
Iskcon Temples in Danger
In yet another attack, the Bangladeshi mob reportedly targeted devotees at an ISKCON temple in the Bangladeshi city of Noakhali.
“According to the information I have received, one of our rented ISKCON centers in Meherpur was burned down, including the deities of Lord Jagannath, Baladev and Subhadra Devi, “ISKCON spokesperson Yudhistir Govinda Das said, confirming the occurrence.
