Dhaka. After the coup of Sheikh Hasina government on August 5 in Bangladesh, non-Muslims are on target. Since Hindus are the most in number among the minority community, the wrath of fundamentalists is falling on them the most. After the attacks, looting and arson in July-August, now the resignations of Hindus working in government posts are being forcibly taken.

It has been revealed that in recent times, resignations of 49 non-Muslim teachers were taken in the country. Among the teachers who were forced to sign resignations, the number of Hindu teachers is the highest.

'Non-Muslim teachers are being constantly attacked'

Bangladesh Chhatra Oikya Parishad, the student wing of Bangladesh Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, Oikya Parishad, has said that in the last few weeks, non-Muslim teachers are being systematically intimidated and forced to resign. Sajeeb Sarkar, organisational coordinator of Chhatra Parishad, said in a press conference, "Non-Muslim teachers are being continuously attacked since the removal of Hasina government."

'The minority community is deeply intimidated'

They are being beaten up when they go to school. The social fabric of the entire country has been disrupted, the minority community is terrified. In this environment, resignations were forcibly taken from teachers, but when complaints were made to higher officials, 19 of them were reinstated, considering their resignations as cancelled. In the anti-minority environment that has been created in Bangladesh since July, there have been continuous attacks on Hindus, their homes, business establishments and temples.

There have been more than 205 incidents of attacks on minorities in 52 districts of the country which has 64 districts. Despite all the assurances of the interim government, the situation has not become normal in about three weeks. Minorities are scared in this environment. After resigning, Hasina left Bangladesh and went to India and is still there.
