The political turmoil in Bangladesh has taken a very ugly turn over the past few days. What seemed like a students’ protest has taken a visceral form. The Pandora’s box has been opened. The hysterical mob has resorted to everything possible to ensure the paralysis of the state. Radical elements have left no stone unturned to lead Bangladesh to complete anarchy. The elected government was forcibly dissolved. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was forced to flee to India by helicopter. This happened with dramatic suddenness.
The violent mob attacked the prime minister’s residence and resorted to looting, damaging property, and hurling invectives against her. The demolition of statues of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was carried out across the country. The man who gave freedom to Bangladesh was subjected to ignominy and disgrace. This indicates that the students’ protest was a façade. It signifies a strong collusion of forces both inside and outside the country. The public disgrace of Mujibur Rahman’s statues amplifies the intent of the subversive forces.
