Bangladesh has been burning in the fire of violence for a long time. Recently, after the death of student leader Sharif Usman Hadi, violence was seen in many areas including Dhaka. During this period, several media institutions, cultural centers and political offices were attacked. After all, why is violence not stopping in Bangladesh? Taslima Nasreen has given her opinion on this.

Taslima told the truth behind her violence

Bangladeshi exiled writer Taslima Nasreen has presented the truth of such situation in her country to the world. He wrote in a post on X, ‘The country has been burning in the fire of discontent for a long time. This is not because of the fight between Awami League and BNP, nor because of the fight between Hasina and Yunus, nor because of the fight between Udichi and scoundrels, nor because of the fight between Hindus and Muslims. This is actually something else.

The country has long been burning in the fire of discontent, but this is not because of the conflict between the Awami League and the BNP, not because of the conflict between Hasina and Yunus, not because of the conflict between Chhayanaut/Udichi and miscreants, and not because…

Conflict between secularism and religious fanaticism: Taslima

Taslima Nasreen further writes, ‘The real reason for the quarrel is something else. The real fight is between two ideologies. This fight is between secularism and religious fanaticism. This is a conflict between rationalism and fundamentalism. There is a struggle between truth and lies. There is a struggle between light and darkness. There is a conflict between progressivism and reactionism.

He said, ‘It is a struggle between intelligence and ignorance. There is a struggle between civilization and barbarism. There is a struggle between humanity and cruelty. There is a conflict between free thinking and superstition. This is a fight between two types of people. Those who want to move forward and those who want to go backward.

Bomb blast in Dhaka in the evening

On one hand the writer is seeing her country going into darkness, while on the other hand the situation remains the same. Evidence of this was seen on Wednesday after the news of a bomb blast in the capital Dhaka. Many people have been injured and one person has died in this blast. There was panic in the area after the incident. The blast took place in Mogabazar of the capital. The miscreants fled after throwing the bomb.

The situation in Bangladesh has been sensitive for some time now.

The situation in Bangladesh has remained very sensitive for the last few months. Recently, the atmosphere has become very serious due to the death of youth leader Usman Hadi and then the mob lynching of a Hindu worker. Hadi was shot by masked gunmen during an election campaign in Dhaka’s Bijoynagar area on 12 December and died while undergoing treatment in Singapore on 18 December. At the same time, on the night of 18 December, Hindu youth Dipu Chandra Das was murdered.

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.
