Sheikh Mujib’s house at Dhanmondi 32 vandalised, set on fire

A group of agitating people entered Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s residence at Dhanmondi 32 in the capital Dhaka and started massive vandalism on Wednesday.

The protesters reached Dhanmondi 32, also known as the Bangabandhu Memorial Museum, with a ‘Bulldozer Procession,’ chanting various slogans against the ousted Awami League around 8:00 pm.

At one stage, they began ransacking and setting fire to the Bhaban, venting their anger toward exiled Sheikh Hasina, who was scheduled to address the banned student outfit Chhatra League virtually from India around 9:00 pm.

In the face of a student-led mass uprising, Awami League President and former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was forced to step down from power and subsequently fled the country on 5 August last year.

Staying in the neighbouring country, she is engaged in hatching plots to make Bangladesh a dysfunctional country by involving the international communities and the Indian influence.

She has been making anti-state remarks over minority issues and attempting to regain her regime by dishing out falsehoods in the global arena.

As part of her plan, Awami League announced a month-long demonstration, including leaflet distribution, protest rallies and processions, blockades and general strike throughout February demanding the resignation of Prof Muhammad Yunus, chief of the interim government.

The party will distribute leaflets from 1 February to 5 February, protest rallies and processions on 6 February and 10 February, a road blockade on 16 February and a countrywide dawn to dusk general strike on 18 February, the AL shared the information in a post on its verified Facebook page.
