Sheikh Hasina flees Bangladesh

Its Army takes over as the government

Hindu minority community finds it tough

Reports of escalating political instability and the potential for military rule in Bangladesh have sparked growing concerns for the safety and well-being of the country’s Hindu minority. Social media discussions are abuzz with fears that increased violence and persecution could be imminent, heightening anxieties among the Hindu community.

If the Sheikh Hasina govt falls, it would perhaps be the toughest future for Bangladeshi Hindus. The violent, bloodthirsty Jihadis are going to feast on them. I truly shudder to think what their plight might be. Praying for their safety today.
