Bangladesh Violence: People broke into the PM's residence and looted it, Sheikh Hasina's office was burnt down

After resigning from the post of Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina left Bangladesh for security reasons. After this, the protesters entered the Prime Minister's office and residence. There has been heavy vandalism and looting in the Prime Minister's residence and office. Along with this, the protesters have also burnt down Sheikh Hasina's office in Dhaka.

Internet is banned in Bangladesh amid indefinite curfew, but according to media reports, the situation in the country remains completely out of control. The appeal for peace made by Army Chief Waqar Uz Zaman also does not seem to have any effect. There are reports of riots, vandalism, arson and looting from various places on the streets of Dhaka.
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's statue vandalised
The people of Bangladesh are very angry with Sheikh Hasina. The furious protesters used hammers on the statue of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, who is called the father of the nation of Bangladesh. The head of this huge statue was broken and separated. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's stature in Bangladesh politics is similar to that of Mahatma Gandhi in India. In the same way, Mujibur Rahman is known as Bangabandhu among the people of Bangladesh. His name is taken with great respect in Bangladesh and he is considered the founder of Bangladesh. Despite this, his statue was also targeted.
Prime Minister's residence looted heavily
The furious protesters did not spare even the Prime Minister's residence. A large number of people entered the Prime Minister's residence. In many pictures and videos on social media, people are seen looting the Prime Minister's residence. People who entered the Prime Minister's residence were seen taking many expensive items with them. It is known from the video that whoever got hold of whatever, ran away with it. In a video of the Prime Minister's residence, a protester was seen resting on a bed. The protesters were also seen eating chicken inside the Prime Minister's residence.

Sheikh Hasina's office torched
People in Bangladesh are so angry with Sheikh Hasina that they even burnt down her office. A large number of people were seen climbing on her office and causing extensive damage to the office by arson. Along with this, the residence of the Home Minister of Bangladesh was also burnt down. There are reports of arson and looting in many other places of the country as well.
Pakistan's hand behind the violence
However, Army Chief Waqar Uz Zaman has blamed Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI for the violence that erupted in Bangladesh. Experts say that given the current situation in Bangladesh, Pakistan's hand cannot be ruled out. Pakistan's intelligence system has played a big role in instigating people. Sheikh Hasina's hold on the public has weakened for some time now. Her position has weakened further after she left the anti-reservation movement.
Why did anger erupt against Sheikh Hasina?
Sheikh Hasina has been the Prime Minister of Bangladesh since 2009 and there is a huge anti-incumbency against her at present. Opposition parties have been accusing Sheikh Hasina of rigging the elections for a long time. Due to all these reasons, there was a lot of resentment among the people against her, which has now come to the fore in a widespread form. Sources say that Pakistan's intelligence agency took advantage of this and forced Sheikh Hasina to resign from the post of Prime Minister.
