'Everyone will be punished...' Yunus Sarkar took big action against those who attacked Hindus after meeting Vikram Misri.

After meeting India's Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, Bangladesh's Mohammad Yunus government has started taking action against those who attacked Hindus. On Monday (December 9, 2024), Vikram Misri visited Bangladesh, where he expressed India's concern about the attack on minorities in front of Chief Advisor Mohammad Yunus and Foreign Secretary Mohammad Jasimuddin. A day after this, 70 people have been arrested in 88 cases registered regarding the attacks.

According to The Daily Star, Mohammad Yunus's press secretary Shafikul Alam said that this action has been taken regarding the violent incidents that took place between August 5 and October 22. He also said that information about the cases after October 22 will also be given soon. Shafikul Alam said that those who commit such violence and heinous acts in Bangladesh will not be spared, everyone will be punished.

When Shafikul Alam was asked whether people associated with political parties are also included in those detained, he said, 'No one has been arrested on political identity. Whoever was suspected or accused has been arrested. However, 88 cases have been registered regarding attacks on minorities and it was found that most of the cases were those in which members of the previous ruling party had to face violence. In such a situation, how will it be known whether they had to face violence because of their religion or violence was committed against them because they were workers of the previous government.'

The Hindu-Buddhist-Christian Oikya Parishad said that there were 2,010 attacks on minorities in Bangladesh between August 4 and August 20. On these figures of the council, Shafikul Alam, citing Sweden's Netra News, said that this report says that every attack in Bangladesh happened due to political or personal reasons, and no one was made a victim of violence because he belonged to the minority community.
