Following the death of Bangladesh student leader Sharif Usman Hadi, violence broke out in several areas of the capital Dhaka on Thursday. Now news has come that fresh protests have started near the Indian Commission in Rajshahi. A few hours earlier, a mob trying to attack the Assistant High Commission in southern Chittagong was pushed back by security forces. In fact, protests have been taking place near the Indian High Commission for the last several days. There has also been arson at many places.
Situation tense outside the Indian Commission
The situation is not good. Local people say that the situation outside the Indian Commission and posts in Bangladesh remains tense. However, Indian diplomats and officials are safe. In this whole matter, questions are also being raised on the police and security forces of Bangladesh. Timely action has failed. When the angry mob reached the Indian Commission, only then the security forces and the local police intervened.
Foreign Ministry had summoned Bangladesh High Commissioner
In view of the security of the Indian Commission and the increasing threat of extremist elements in the entire matter, the Ministry of External Affairs had summoned Bangladesh High Commissioner Riyaz Hamidullah. Hamidullah was told that India expects the interim government to ensure the security of missions and posts in Bangladesh in accordance with diplomatic obligations.
Why is it that tipra are the first to protest against atrocities against minority in Bangladesh? Why is that we are the first to challenge Bangladesh theory of breaking up our northeast. And why are we tiprasa targeted when your real enemy should be radicals from Bangladesh? pic.twitter.com/B00GiobLXL

The situation may worsen after Hadi’s body arrives.
It is estimated that the situation may worsen after Hadi’s body is brought to Bangladesh from Singapore. He was taken for treatment after being shot in Dhaka on 12 December. Former PM Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League party is being held guilty of Hadi’s murder. However, there is no concrete evidence related to this. Four people, including two policemen, were injured in clashes between protesters and police outside the Indian Assistant High Commission on Thursday night.
According to Bangladesh’s UNB news agency, protesters threw bricks and vandalized the campus. According to officials, 12 people have been detained under the Anti-Terrorism Act. Here, tension has increased after the march towards the High Commission was stopped. Radical and anti-India forces were more active in the monarchy.
There will be state mourning in Bangladesh on Saturday
Authorities have taken no steps to stop unsubstantiated reports of an India connection to Hadi’s killing, one person told news agency Reuters. Because of this this situation has arisen. The interim government of Bangladesh has declared one-day state mourning on Saturday on Hadi’s death.
General elections are to be held in February
Meanwhile, acting head of the interim government, Muhammad Yunus, has said that the democratic transition should not be derailed by a few people who thrive on anarchy. Reject peace.
General elections are to be held in Bangladesh on 12 February. The interim government has also condemned the lynching of a person. The statement said, there is no place for such violence in the new Bangladesh. The perpetrators of this heinous crime will not be spared. In fact, Dipu Chandra Das, who was a 30-year-old garment factory worker, was beaten to death by a mob in Bhaluka of Mymensingh area. The crowd accused him of blasphemy. His body was tied to a tree and set on fire.
