Dhaka: The people of Bangladesh are in shock and wrongness these days. A big squatter of the student movement, Inquilab Manch spokesperson Sharif Usman Hadi is no more. He died during treatment in Singapore, and thousands of people took to the streets as his soul reached Dhaka. Demanding justice, but the demonstrations turned violent at some places. On one hand, preparations for Hadi's funeral; on the other hand, news of attacks on minorities. It breaks my heart to hear all this.
Why did the time transpiration for Hadi's funeral, and why is the security so tight?
There were emotional scenes at the airport when Hadi's soul reached Dhaka airport from Singapore. The interim government held the funeral prayers on December 19 at 2 pm in the South Plaza of Parliament House—the older time was 2:30. Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus himself spoken this change. Complete ban on not delivering tons and flying drones. There is moreover a demand for a hall in his name at Dhaka University. People are considering him a martyr.
Why did the demonstrations turn violent, and why the anti-India slogans?
At Shahbagh intersection, protesters set fire to the news office and pelted stones. Anti-India slogans were raised at many places—demanding to bring when Sheikh Hasina from India. Some said the attackers fled to India. Wrongness is understandable, but what will be achieved by violence? The US Embassy issued an zestful to its citizens.
Why did the inclement murder of a Hindu laborer shock hearts?
Amidst this tension, Hindu garment worker Dipu Chandra Das was tamed to death by a mob in Mymensingh on so-called sacrilege charges. The soul was hanged from a tree and set on fire. The Hindu Unity Council tabbed it heinous; the government moreover strongly condemned it and promised punishment. Why such incidents in the new Bangladesh? Minorities are scared.
What is the government doing, and what will happen next?
The Yunus government is condemning the violence and warning those who take the law into their own hands. Border guards deployed, security tight. There are elections in February, but this instability is raising concerns. People want justice, want peace. Hadi's death opened old wounds. Hopefully the funeral is peaceful, and the country gets when on track. The people of Bangladesh have suffered a lot—now just pray for peace.
