On Thursday, India strongly condemned the destruction of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's residence, a historic landmark in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The incident, which took place on February 5, 2025, saw thousands of protestors setting fire to the residence, which had been converted into a memorial. This act of violence deeply disturbed both the Bangladeshi public and the international community.

The Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) expressed its grave concern over the attack. A spokesperson for the MEA, Randhir Jaiswal, stated that it was tragic to witness the historic residence of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, a symbol of Bangladesh's resistance against oppression, being destroyed in such a manner. The residence was not only a symbol of national pride but also an important part of Bangladesh’s identity, as it represented the resistance of the people against foreign oppression and their struggle for independence. India called for the perpetrators to be held accountable for the vandalism and emphasized the need for peace and stability in the region. The attack on the residence is seen as an attack on the freedom struggle that shaped the Bangla identity and national pride.

The MEA’s statement further highlighted that such destructive acts should be strongly condemned as they undermine the national consciousness of Bangladesh. The residence of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in Dhanmondi, Dhaka, where the attack occurred, holds significant historical value, and its destruction is seen as an attempt to undermine the nation’s deep-rooted history and the identity of its people.

The protests in Bangladesh also led to widespread violence, with protestors not only attacking Mujibur Rahman’s house but also demolishing the homes of Awami League leaders and defacing mural images of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. These events took place after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's online address, which was expected to be delivered in a peaceful manner. The protests were reportedly inspired by a social media call for a "Bulldozer Procession" following Hasina’s speech. This led to further escalation of political tensions in the country.

In response, Bangladesh’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs lodged a formal protest with the Indian Government. They criticized Sheikh Hasina's statements, accusing them of being fabricated and false, which some believe could incite more instability. In a diplomatic note, Bangladesh conveyed its disappointment with these statements, viewing them as hostile actions against Bangladesh. This protest underscores the delicate state of India-Bangladesh relations and highlights the challenges both nations face in maintaining a healthy relationship.

The Indian government’s call for peace and the accountability of those responsible for the destruction aligns with India’s broader commitment to ensuring regional stability. India’s condemnation of the attack is reflective of its broader role in advocating for peace in South Asia and maintaining strong diplomatic ties with its neighbors.

Such violent incidents reflect the growing instability in the region, with political unrest continuing to shape the daily lives of people in Bangladesh. The country, under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina, has experienced significant political challenges, with opposition groups protesting the government’s policies. The destruction of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s residence further complicates these tensions, contributing to an already volatile situation.

The Indian government’s statement not only condemns the attack but also calls for greater accountability and the restoration of peace, which is necessary for the well-being of both Bangladesh and the broader region. As Bangladesh continues to face growing political instability, the role of international diplomacy and peaceful dialogue will become increasingly important in navigating the country’s political future.

In such a turbulent political climate, it is crucial to promote peace, cooperation, and mutual respect between countries in the region. As both India and Bangladesh share historical ties, it is important that both nations continue to engage in constructive dialogue to resolve their differences peacefully.

In conclusion, the attack on Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s residence not only serves as a tragic reminder of the political tensions in Bangladesh but also calls for greater international attention on the need for peace and stability in South Asia. The destruction of a historically significant site like this further emphasizes the importance of safeguarding the region’s shared history, while also ensuring that the rights of individuals to peacefully protest are respected.
