Bangladesh Hindu Violence: Interim Prime Minister of Bangladesh and Nobel Peace Prize winning economist Mohammad Yunus has termed the news of violence against the Hindu community in his country as completely fake news. He claimed that fake news has become the specialty of India.
Mohammad Yunus gave this statement in an interview to journalist Mehdi Hasan. Hasan had asked him that in November last year, about 30,000 Hindus had demonstrated against your rule. He said that there have been thousands of attacks on his community. US President Donald Trump had also described the violence in Bangladesh as barbaric. In such a situation, what steps did you take to stop this violence?
Mohammad Yunus said this
In response to Mehdi Hasan’s question, Yunus said, ‘First of all, all these news are fake news. They cannot be trusted. A big specialty of India today is fake news. When asked whether he was saying that the reports of violence were exaggerated or completely false, Yunus said, ‘Sometimes there are some disputes, be it a land dispute, a family dispute or some personal issue. If I have a Hindu neighbor and there is a dispute between us regarding the land mark, then people call it a Hindu-Muslim dispute, whereas in reality it is not so.
‘The interim government is very cautious on this’
Yunus said that the interim government formed after Sheikh Hasina was removed from power amid violent protests in 2024 is very alert on this issue. India always raises this issue, so we are taking special care.
‘Hindus should see themselves as citizens’
When Yunus was asked what message he would like to give to the Hindu community of Bangladesh, he said, ‘I tell them not to say that I am a Hindu, protect me. Say that I am a citizen of this country, and I want all the rights that the state gives to its citizens. With this he will stand with all those people of the country who have not received equal treatment from the state. Don’t isolate yourself.
Yunus said in the interview that India’s decision to grant asylum to Sheikh Hasina has become the main obstacle in the relations between the two countries. He also clarified that the upcoming elections in Bangladesh will be held within six months.
