In my previous posts #639184, #636171 and #637639, I advocated strongly against the protests. While my posts gave some clues why the protests weren't only hold for discontent against Hasina Government, the outcome of this well planned conspiracy of establishing Islamic Extremism is Bangladesh are broadly visible now. Many jails have been broken, terrorist have been either released or have fled, the leaders of islamic extremist political parties are eying to polarize the votes and demanding an election. The shops and public buildings are being vandalised without restrictions. If these weren't enough to clad Bangladesh in Islamophobia, they are killing Hindus and damaging Hindi temples.
Hindus now have to beg for their lives in their own country that has just been as democratic and secular before a few days ago as India and USA are.
Hundreds of people protested in the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka on Friday against violence targeting the country's minority Hindus. A school teacher was killed and at least 45 people injured as homes, businesses, and temples of Hindus in Muslim-majority Bangladesh were targeted following Hasina's resignation on Monday.
The United Nations secretary-general Antonio Guterres has expressed his opposition to any racially motivated attacks or incitement to violence in Bangladesh, according to his deputy spokesperson Farhan Haq. This statement has come in response to the recent violence against the Hindu minority community in the country.
The Indian government has also expressed its deep concern over a surge of violence targeting minorities in Bangladesh. In a statement government said, "The violence in the neighbouring country has been severe and unforgiving with numerous Hindu temples, homes, and businesses targeted and vandalised, women assaulted, and at least two Hindu leaders affiliated with Hasina’s Awami League killed. In a particularly horrific incident, 24 people were burned alive at a luxury hotel owned by an Awami League leader in Jessore district, adding to the toll of 440 deaths in the latest spate of unrest."

Even after, Indian government and UN confirmed the violence against Hindus in Bangladesh, pro-islamic media is either silent or quashing any claims of such violence in uncontrolled Bangladesh.
Al Jazeera, which claims to be an independent news organisation funded in part by the Qatari government, has been criticizing all media outlets which have tried to present a realistic image of these protests in Bangladesh. On the reports of violence against Hindus in Bangladesh, Al Jazeera called them 'misleading and inappropriate' in a recent article.
But took an U-turn and accepted —
Al Jazeera has independently verified that only two Hindus have been killed since Hasina’s ouster on Monday – one police officer and one activist with Hasina’s Awami League party. Source
The question here is—Can we trust Al Jazeera when they're not even sure and when we know it's a news agency that is super pro-islamic.
I would like to inform everyone here that attacks on Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh are real. So far, from real sources in Bangladesh, I've been informed that at least six people have been killed from the minorities by Islamic Extremists. I've not recieved any information about '24 burnt alive' but the damage to temples and shrines is happening at a large scale in Bangladesh. The minorities are feeling vulnerable due to political and administrative instability in the country.
"Several hundred Bangladeshi nationals, mostly Hindus, gathered at different points along India's border with Bangladesh," Amit Kumar Tyagi, India's Border Security Force (BSF) deputy inspector general, told to the press. source
Now when Army officials have confirmed that, Hindus and other minorities are gathering around the Indian boarder to Bangladesh, there shouldn't be any doubt that minorities are being attacked in Bangladesh. There is also not doubt that Bangladesh has just become another islamophobic state which will go on to establish religious narrative inside Bangladesh for forever.

I find your takes on this situation kind of strange to be honest. I've spent quite a bit of time in BD and Dhaka and have lots of friends and contacts there who, to a person, have been very happy with the recent developments, esp. the selection of Yunus as interim leader. This includes people who were Hasina supporters in the past.
I just find it strange how big the delta is between what you have been posting about and what my friends in Bangladesh have expressed.
I don't have strong opinions on this myself, but was happy when I saw the news about Yunus because I know how widely respected he is there.

Because more than 90% Bangladesh population is Muslims, may be you only get views from them. Have you had conversation with any Hindus living in there?
We don't know how Younus will fare as leader yet. Yes most Muslims are happy to have ehim as leader because he is an anti-democrat and pro-communist.

Thanks for sharing!
Initially, I thought that Hasina and her party was doing everything wrong for the people but I think now that she was essential for Bangladesh's democracy. This is good news that she'll return. But by doing this she'll most probably endanger her life. I recently came to know how including her father several of her family members were assassinated by the same extremists.
