Bangladesh Mob Attacks Supporters of Ousted Prime Minister Amid Tensions Over Planned Rally
ai generated text
The anniversary of the 1975 assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the father of Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, is marked on August 15. In previous years, large rallies were held to commemorate the occasion. However, this year's anniversary is taking place amidst a tumultuous period in Bangladesh's politics, with Hasina being ousted from power. Student protesters and political activists have been involved in violent clashes with supporters of Hasina, with some even attacking a museum dedicated to her father's memory.
The victims of yesterday are perpetrators of today; men armed with clubs and pipes (many identified themselves as BNP and Jamaat) thrashing and chasing away anyone they suspect of being Awami League.
This is not a political matter. This is to show our respect for our Independence and the man who gave it to us. Without #Bangabandhu there would be no #Bangladesh. Joy Bangla, Joy Bangabandhu.
