Interim Govt Urges Public to Stand Against Mob Violence in Bangladesh

The interim government on Friday urged Bangladeshi citizens to resist all forms of mob violence committed by "a few fringe elements" following the death of a prominent July Uprising leader six days after he was shot by masked gunmen in the national capital.

In a statement, the interim government, led by Muhammad Yunus, also condemned the lynching of a Hindu man, saying there is no space for such violence in the new Bangladesh. "The



perpetrators of this heinous crime will not be spared," it added.

The Hindu man, identified as Dipu Chandra Das, was lynched to death and his body set on fire over alleged blasphemy on Thursday in Mymensingh city, the Bangla Tribune news portal reported. 

We strongly and unequivocally condemn all acts of violence, intimidation, arson, and destruction of properties, said the statement issued by the Chief Adviser's Press Wing.
