Who was Sheik Mujibur Rahman, and what does Dhamondi 32 residence indicate?

Hasin’s late father, Sheik Mujibur Rahman – widely known as “Bangabandhu” (Bengali friend) and “Mujib” – he led the Native Liberation Fight against Pakistan, who led to his independence in 1971.

As the first president of the new nation and later the Prime Minister, Rahman’s leadership shaped the early year of the country. On January 24, 1975, he introduced a controversial one -party state system, known as Bangladesh Krishak, Awami League (Baksal), who eliminated political opposition. This system gave the state complete control of the media; connected functions of the state, governments and parties; And he demanded military personnel, police, judges and civil servants to become a party members.

On August 15, 1975, Mujib and all other members of his family, except Hasina and her younger sister, Sheikh Rehana, were killed during a military coup at his residence on the Dhamondi 32 road in Daki.

At that time, Hasina and her sister Rehana were in Germany. They took refuge in India and remained there until the return of Hasina to Bangladesh in May 1981. On her return, she announced the conversion of the residence to the museum as a memorial to the freedom of the country on June 10, 1981. The museum opened in August in August 14, 1994, until that time, Bangladesh had a democratically elected government after a number of four military or military or military government until 1990.

The Hasina Awami League eventually came to power, beating the current government of the nationalist party of Bangladesh Begum Khaled Zia.

The house had a great significance in the Bangladic Independence Movement, and many global leaders met with Rahman in this house until his assassination.

What started recent attacks?

Protesters look at the Rahman’s home and other properties of the Awami League member as symbols of what they describe as the years of authoritarian rule, corruption and suppression of opposition voices.

The Dhanmonda 32 home to demolish the home of Dhanndo 32 has increased since Hasina was overthrown from power last year.

On Tuesday, after BBC Bangla reported that he would overthrow the Prime Minister on Wednesday night to submit an address at a virtual event, students of students against the discrimination movement, Group in head of a campaign against Hasina Last year, he accused India of “waging war” against people of Bangladesh.

At 6:30 pm Local Time (12:30 GMT) on Wednesday, a student group leader, Hasnat Abdullah, wrote on Facebook: “Tonight Bangladesh will be released by the sanctuary of fascism.”

In response, the police increased security in the Dhamondi area 32.

What happened to Hasina’s family?

Until the early evening on Wednesday, protesters gathered in front of the police barricade at the Dhanndo 32 intersection in Daki. A group of military soldiers briefly joined the police to maintain safety, but withdrew after a short quarrel with protesters.

During the live speech of Sheikh Hasine on the official Facebook page of the Awami League and on X, she accused the temporary government of illegally occupying power and inviting resistance.

Protesters, many associated with students against discrimination movement, responded with Fury, with protesters carrying sticks, hammers and other tools and storms home before they set it up. Others brought a crane and a excavator to destroy the building.

As soon as the excavator began to demolish, thousands of protesters broke out fans. They also sang the slogans: “Break the fascist stronghold, demolished it! Delhi or Dhaka? Dhaka, Dhaka! In Bengal Abu Sayedo there is no room for Hindu.”

Abu Sayeed was a protester against Hasina killed in a security action last July. Hinduat is a ruling Hindu chief ideology of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi Party of Bharatiya Janata.

“This house is a symbol of fascism, and the fascist Hasina tries to destabilize our country from exile. We will not leave any trace of fascism intact,” Ahmed, one of the protesters, for Al Jazeera.

A mixed viewer reaction followed.

“There is no doubt that Hasin is guilty; people have suffered because of her. But this house has historical significance. I think this is not a real move,” said Iqbal, a businessman who traveled with a friend with a motorcycle from the old part of the city, for Al Jazeera.

His friend, however, said he saw the move as “just fine.”

Some people were seen from the building taking bricks like tokens, while others rushed to collect books, furniture, iron, broken barbecue, wood and everything else they could find.

On Thursday, the journalists are steps that police have taken to prevent the attack on the Rahman’s home, the commissioner of the Metropolitan metropolite metropolis DHAKE Sheikh MD Sazzat, but he said: “We tried. I was there late into the night.”

Still, so far, no one has been arrested.

What other buildings were targeted?

Similar incidents took place in at least 19 other cities across the country since Wednesday night, according to the Prothum Alo newspaper report.

They include the demolition of the Awami League office in the eastern district of Cumilla and the central district of Tangail, the residences of several key leaders exiled in Khulni, Noakhali and Kushtia district, and destroying the fresco rahman in various public institutions in Sylhet and Rangpur.

For now, no victims have been reported as a result of these incidents.

The Awami League leaders said to Proh Alo that two party members were – one woman – also attacked, but Al Jazeera could not check these claims on her own.

How did the Government and political figures answered?

In a statement to the media, the Provisional Government called the vandalism in the home “regret”, but attributed it to “public anger” for Hasin’s speech from India on the July uprising.

She accused Hasin of insulting the “martyrs” of the uprising and encouraging instability.

“Her words reopened the early massacre in July, which led to a return reaction” in Dhanondi 32, read a statement published on Thursday afternoon by the Office of the Temporary Leader of Yunus.

“The Government invites India that it does not allow its territory to be used to destabilize Bangladesh,” it said.

“The implementation of the law takes all the necessary steps to restore the order,” said, added: “Legal actions will also be considered against those involved in encouraging.”

Stating that the persecution of liability for murders in July is progressing, the Government has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring justice for killings in July.

Shafiquer Rahman, leader of Bangladesh Party Jamaat-E-Islam, who opposed the independence of the Bangladesh of Pakistan, said in a post on Facebook that Sheikh Hasina was responsible for the situation for her “encouragement” with her speech.

Meanwhile, Hafiz Uddin Ahmed, a senior leader of the nationalist party in Bangladesh, is reportedly the most powerful political party in the country on Thursday said: “We believe that some people may have created this chaos to disturb the path of democracy in the coming days. Specifically, we have to investigate whether our neighboring country [India] There is any involvement in that. “

What does this mean for the future of the Awami League?

Once the most powerful political power of Bangladesh, the Awami league is now facing wide hostility.

Analysts said that the vandalism of Rahman’s residence signals a strong rejection of the party’s legacy by parts of the population, especially students and young people who have largely led last year’s mass protests.

Rezaul Karim Rony, analyst and editor of Jogan magazine, told Al Jazeera: “The house was supposed to be completely destroyed immediately after the fall [Awami League] The August 5th regime, but remained mostly intact despite partial vandalism. Now, while Sheikh Hasin denies the uprising and shows no remorse for genocide as they encouraged their supporters, people responded by completing what was left. “

He added: “Many of us are critical of this step. But they should realize that fascism in Bangladesh started with Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and reached its peak under Hasin. The tribal policy with Awami’s muscles, will no longer overcome, as indicated by July uprising. “

Rony said he couldn’t see the future for the Awami League. “After their stunned heritage, even the change of leadership will not make the Awami league relevant.”
