Former Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina fiercely targeted the interim government led by Mohammad Yunus on Thursday (25 December 2025). He accused the Bangladesh government of committing atrocities against non-Muslims. Awami League Chief Sheikh Hasina said that horrific incidents like brutal killing of religious minorities are coming to light under the Yunus government, which came to power illegally.
Sheikh Hasina was clearly referring to the incident of lynching of a Hindu youth Dipu Das by a mob in Bangladesh last week. In a message given on the occasion of Christmas, he accused the Yunus government of interfering in the freedom of people of all religions and communities to practice their respective religions.
‘Yunus government is torturing non-Muslims’
He said, “The interim government is committing unimaginable atrocities, especially against non-Muslims. During its rule, horrific incidents like brutal killing of religious minorities have also come to light. I have full confidence that the people of Bangladesh will not allow this dark period to continue much longer.” Sheikh Hasina expressed hope that Christmas will further promote the spirit of harmony and reconciliation between Christians and followers of other religions in Bangladesh.
She said, “On this auspicious occasion of Christmas, I wish happiness, peace and prosperity for all Christian brothers and sisters. There is hope for the end of the dark period and a new dawn of hope. Long live Bangladesh.”
Dipu Das was murdered and his body was set on fire.
In Bangladesh, Dipu Chandra Das was beaten to death by a mob and later his body was set on fire. Initially it was said that he was killed on charges of blasphemy, but later the police clarified that they did not find any such evidence. Regarding this, there were demonstrations against Mohammad Yunus in many countries of the world including India.
Tariq Rahman appealed for peace to the people of Bangladesh
Sheikh Hasina’s statement came at a time when Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) acting president and former PM Khaleda Zia’s son Tariq Rahman addressed a huge public meeting in Dhaka on December 25. However, he did not directly take the name of Sheikh Hasina even once in his entire speech. He appealed to the people to maintain peace.
He said, ‘Bangladesh is a country where Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and Christians all live equally. We want to build a secure Bangladesh. A country where if any woman, man or child leaves the house safely, he can return safely.
