The kind of situation that has been seen after the coup in Bangladesh is extremely frightening and shocking. On one hand, Hindus and minorities have been targeted, on the other hand, there are some anarchist elements in Bangladesh who have developed love for Pakistan. Such anarchist elements have forgotten their freedom struggle and are bent on erasing the signs associated with it. Amidst the news of violence, a picture has also emerged that will break the hearts of patriotic Bangladeshi people.
Chaos in Bangladesh
In Bangladesh, vandals vandalised several statues at the 1971 martyrs' memorial site in Mujibnagar. Meanwhile, a memorial depicting Pakistan's surrender to the Indian Army during the 1971 war has also been vandalised. This moment in 1971 was historic for Bangladesh, it is the date of their independence. The 1971 war not only liberated Bangladesh but also ended Pakistan's atrocities on Bangladeshis.
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor expressed concern
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has expressed concern over such incidents happening in Bangladesh. Posting on the social media platform (X), Shashi Tharoor wrote, “Statues installed in the 1971 Martyrs Memorial Complex in Mujibnagar have been vandalized by anti-India miscreants. The incident has taken place in Indian cultural centers, temples and Hindu homes. This series of incidents took place in several places. The Khad comes after the attacks, while there have also been reports of Muslim citizens protecting the homes and places of worship of other minorities.
Shashi Tharoor further wrote, “The agenda of some agitators is very clear. It is imperative that Mohammad Yunus and his interim government take immediate steps to restore law and order in the interest of all Bangladeshis, people of all faiths. Including those in India.” These are turbulent times. “I stand by the people of Bangladesh. But this kind of anarchy can never be tolerated.”
A historical monument was demolished
Let us tell you that the historical monument that was demolished in Bangladesh showed Major General Amir Abdullah Khan Niazi of the Pakistani Army surrendering. Niazi signed the surrender letter before the Indian Army and the Mukti Bahini of Bangladesh. Niazi surrendered along with 93 thousand soldiers before the then General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of India's Eastern Command, Lieutenant General Jagjit Singh Arora.
