Dhaka, Dec 20 (NationPress) The Awami League party of Bangladesh has issued a strong condemnation of a series of attacks occurring nationwide, targeting media offices, cultural institutions, and diplomatic missions, labeling them as a “coordinated terrorist attack.”

The party asserted that such actions indicate a complete erosion of the essential characteristics of a modern, civilized state within the nation.

These assaults have affected prominent newspapers including Prothom Alo and The Daily Star; the national cultural organization Chhayanaut; the Indian Assistant High Commission in Chattogram and Khulna; the Indian Cultural Centre; and the remaining structures of the Bangabandhu Memorial Museum, which holds significant historical value. They also targeted various other media offices, cultural institutions, and diplomatic sites across the nation.

Moreover, another Hindu youth was brutally beaten and burned to death in an “act of communal hatred.”

Unrest erupted nationwide following the death of Sharif Osman Hadi, spokesperson for the radical group Inqilab Mancha.

“These barbaric actions and killings represent a direct and severe assault on Bangladesh’s secular values, the principles of the Liberation War, pluralism, cultural heritage, and freedom of the press. As an independent, sovereign, and pluralistic nation, Bangladesh has become a haven for terrorists. Targeting cultural institutions and the diplomatic missions of another nation is a gross violation of decency and state security, and above all, a blatant breach of international law and diplomatic norms,” the Awami League stated.

Criticizing the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus, the party remarked, “The entire state apparatus has descended into the depths of extremist communal insanity, with the committee masquerading as a government serving as an active patron.”

The Awami League claims these “hostile forces, extremist communal, and militant groups” are engaged in a calculated conspiracy to disrupt peaceful coexistence, sow religious divisions, and tarnish Bangladesh’s international reputation.

“The murder of a minority Hindu youth through beating and burning underscores that these groups are enemies of humanity, religious values, and the rule of law,” the party expressed.

In condemning the repeated violence and vandalism at the historic Dhanmondi 32, a site dedicated to the memory of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the Awami League characterized it as the “ultimate expression of the arrogance of anti-Liberation War and anti-people forces.”

“The Bangabandhu Memorial Museum at 32 was set ablaze, bulldozers were used to demolish it, and further attacks have been executed on those ruins. Such a vile mentality belongs to the killer-fascist Yunus and his militant factions. We denounce this hateful ideology. The future will not tolerate such reckless actions by the ignorant,” the party stated.

The Awami League emphasized the urgent need to bring all terrorists, instigators, and patrons involved in these assaults and murders to justice and to ensure exemplary punishment.

“However, the current government’s indifference and inaction toward these groups are glaringly evident. Therefore, public awareness must be fostered at every societal level against these extremist communal forces and militant terrorists,” it emphasized.
