Dr. Muhammad Yunus leads the current interim government of Bangladesh which issued an immediate peace request because of three days of aggression against properties owned by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and leaders from Awami League. Mobs under the influence of Hasina’s “provocative” speech unleashed violence by doing destructive acts which targeted residences and businesses along with the historic home of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman who founded Bangladesh.
Episodes of destruction began on Wednesday when demonstrators started burning down the important historical building at 32 Dhanmondi which served as the residence of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in Dhaka. After 1971 when Sheikh Mujibur Rahman announced Bangladesh independence from this residence it was transformed into a historical memorial site. The protests conducted attacks against properties belonging to Awami League leaders which spanned throughout Chattogram, Rajshahi, and Sylhet.
Yunus addressed citizens to maintain law and order by abstaining from additional attacks through his official statement. Hasina received criticism for her “tyrannical” leadership but the spokesperson believed that respecting constitutional rules must be prioritized. The statement emphasized how lawbreaking activities create fatalities to both people and ownership possessions of citizens. 
The transitional government issued a warning against ongoing unrest because it could damage Bangladesh’s international reputation and give Hasina who lived in India an opportunity to gain foreign support. Security forces are in position to control the situation as authorities make clear their plan to take severe action against those responsible for chaos.
Through public statements the BNP leadership asked the government to stop unwarranted mob actions and block the emergence of authoritarian forces in the country. With the country facing the aftermath the transitional government stays dedicated to upholding security as well as pursuing justice for past crimes.
