Washington, D.C.[US], February 13 (ANI): A ‌gathering of demonstrators‌ affiliated with⁣ the Awami League and its partner organizations voiced their discontent against Bangladesh’s Chief Advisor, muhammad⁣ Yunus,‍ outside​ Blair House on Thursday. This location is where Prime ⁣Minister Narendra Modi is staying during his two-day ‍visit to the United States.

The crowd⁤ chanted phrases such as “Yunus must resign; we​ demand⁢ justice; we support Sheikh Hasina.”

Numerous slogans were directed at Yunus, including “killer of minorities” and “Hindu killer ‌Yunus.”

One ⁣protester‍ passionately stated, “Dr. ⁢Yunus has illegally ⁣seized power ⁤with the backing ​of extremists. Under ​our Constitution,Sheikh Hasina ⁢remains the rightful Prime Minister of Bangladesh. She was ousted from her position through illegitimate means aided by terrorists. In upcoming elections, we expect that the constituents will rally behind Sheikh Hasina once more.”

The ​protesters continued to chant “Step down! Killer Yunus!” in a show of dissent.

A different participant remarked, “We are here in solidarity with our fellow citizens in Bangladesh who‍ are facing violence and insecurity—things⁢ have ​deteriorated drastically ther.”

Another protester emphasized that as August 5—when Dr. Yunus began representing what they called a⁢ terrorist faction unconstitutionally—minority‌ groups in Bangladesh have ⁢suffered ⁤greatly, ‍particularly Hindus who face violence and discrimination. This group does not ⁢adhere ⁢to principles of​ secular democracy ‌nor does‍ it allow⁢ for democratic rights,” he‌ insisted as he aimed for increased global attention from⁤ leaders like ⁤Donald Trump and Narendra⁣ Modi.

The Context Behind Recent Protests

In August of last year, ⁢a student-led uprising resulted in the ‌dismissal of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina after widespread protests marred by violence ​led to over 600 fatalities. Following this upheaval, Hasina ⁣sought refuge ⁢in India while an interim ‍government presided over by Nobel Laureate ‌Muhammad Yunus ⁢took charge.

Diplomatic Relations Amid Tensions

Last December saw Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri visiting Bangladesh ‌where‍ both ⁣nations ​reaffirmed their⁤ commitment to maintaining amicable relations despite ongoing tensions.

Sparking International Attention Over Vandalism⁣ Events

A recent special​ briefing ‍held by India’s Ministry of External affairs (MEA) addressed ⁢incidents involving vandalism at the residence linked to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in Dhaka. Foreign Secretary Misri emphasized that it is incumbent upon⁣ host ‍nations to ensure security for diplomatic premises: “The safety standards‍ are well within responsibilities bound by local authorities.”‌

the Aftermath: Civil Turmoil Escalates

This past week saw mobs storming Rahman’s ancestral ‌home demanding a⁢ ban on Awami League while reportedly‍ damaging property extensively before gaining control inside ⁤premises—the devastation captured vividly through media reports showcasing flames engulfing‍ parts attached ​to this historic site according to Dhaka ⁢Tribune⁤ sources.

A Condemnation from India

The⁢ Indian Government expressed sorrow regarding⁢ this destruction directed against Bangladesh’s‌ founding leader stating it was ​highly regrettable behavior as articulated through MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal who labeled these acts towards heritage sites⁣ as shameful distortion‌ amidst ⁤celebrating Bangladeshi freedom struggles commemorated ⁣across generations.
