whole game changed as soon as hindus took to the streets the new pmi hurriedly called meeting

In an effort to address the ongoing attacks against Hindus and other minorities, Bangladesh interim leader Muhammad Yunus has called a meeting with Hindu students and community members on Monday. The interim government said the discussions will focus on resolving the current crisis and ensuring the safety of the Hindu community. According to reports, minority communities in Bangladesh have faced at least 205 incidents of attacks in 52 districts since the fall of the Sheikh Hasina-led government on August 5. The interim government on Sunday, in its first official statement after the cabinet members were sworn in, said attacks on religious minorities in some places have been observed with grave concern. Amid growing concerns, minority groups are demanding the implementation of the Minority Protection Act to safeguard their rights.

A Hindu student group has drawn up an eight-point list of demands to be handed over to Yunus. The demands include setting up a fast-track tribunal for speedy trial of cases of attacks on Hindus, immediate enactment of the Minority Protection Act, upgrading the Hindu Religious Welfare Trust to a foundation, modernising the Pali Education Board, announcing five-point resolution process. Muhammad Yunus had earlier condemned the attacks on minority communities, calling them “heinous” and urging the youth to protect Hindu, Christian and Buddhist families.
