Bangladesh protesters, vowing to ‘guard revolution’, beat Hasina supporters

Hundreds of student protesters and political activists, vowing to guard Bangladesh’s student-led “revolution”, have attacked the supporters of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and prevented them from reaching the house of her father, the assassinated independence leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
The rally was called on Thursday by the supporters of Hasina’s Awami League party to mark the anniversary of the August 15, 1975 assassination of Rahman and other members of his family during a military coup. Hasina survived along with her younger sister because they were visiting Germany.
Hasina’s government had declared August 15 a national holiday. But the holiday was cancelled by the interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, who took over following Hasina’s downfall.
Armed with bamboo sticks, iron rods and pipes and with no police in sight, hundreds of people blocked the entrance to Bangabandhu Memorial Museum, Hasina’s family home in Dhaka’s Dhanmondi area that was turned into a memorial to her father. Rahman is fondly called “bangabandhu”, or a friend of Bengal.

What a load of lies! I'm glad bangladeshis chose their fate themselves and won't have anyone to blame later, be it the US, India, China or Pakistan.

Why? They are just like you. They are also Bangladeshi. Please respect and love each other. Just because of your political deference, you should not hate each other. Best of wishes for Bangladesh and its people.
