Violence against Hindu community increased in Bangladesh
Violence against members of the Hindu community has increased in Bangladesh after the fall of the Sheikh Hasina-led government. Hasina resigned as Prime Minister and came to India on August 5 after widespread protests against her government over the controversial reservation system in jobs. The International Crimes Tribunal of Bangladesh has started investigating charges of genocide and crimes against humanity against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and nine others. These allegations against Hasina are related to the incidents that took place during the massive movement of students against her government between July 15 and August 5.
