In a recent post on X, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor expressed his distress over the destruction of statues at the 1971 Shaheed Memorial Complex in Mujibnagar by anti-India vandals. Tharoor highlighted that this incident follows a series of attacks on Indian cultural centers, temples, and Hindu homes, despite reports of Muslim civilians protecting minority properties. He wrote, “sad to see images like this of statues at the 1971 Shaheed Memorial Complex, Mujibnagar, destroyed by anti-India vandals. This follows disgraceful attacks on the Indian cultural centre, temples and Hindu homes in several places, even as reports came in of Muslim civilians protecting other minority homes and places of worship. The agenda of some of the agitators is quite clear. It is essential that @Yunus_Centre ( Muhammad Yunus) and his interim government take urgent steps to restore law & order in the interests of all Bangladeshis, of every faith. India stands with the people of Bangladesh at this turbulent time, but such anarchic excess can never be condoned.”
