The interim government of Bangladesh, led by Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus, has moved from silent complicity to active cover-up. In a shocking display of gaslighting, the Yunus administration has officially dismissed a year long campaign of terror against the Hindu minority as mere “criminal incidents,” stripping the victims of their dignity and the crimes of their motive.
While the world watches, a systematic erasure is underway. The regime’s latest report, released this week, claims that of the 645 attacks on minorities in 2025, only 71 were communal. The rest? Conveniently categorized as “land disputes,” “political clashes,” or “neighborhood quarrels.”
This is not governance; it is a whitewash. Behind these sanitized statistics lies a gruesome reality of Taliban-style executions, lynchings, and a state-sponsored attempt to redefine ethnic cleansing as “law and order” issues.
The “Criminal” Label: A Calculated License to Kill
On Monday, January 19, 2026, the Chief Adviser’s Press Wing released a statement that insulted every Hindu victim in Bangladesh. By claiming that 89% of attacks on minorities were “criminal in nature” and not communal, the regime has effectively decriminalized hate.
This narrative is a tactical masterstroke for the perpetrators. If a Hindu shopkeeper is burned alive because of his religion, the state now calls it a “business dispute.” If a temple is bulldozed, it is labeled an “eviction drive.”

The Strategy: By branding these atrocities as “political”—often equating Hindus with the ousted Awami League—the regime provides moral justification for the violence.

The Reality: Independent reports from the Rights & Risks Analysis Group (RRAG) reveal that between December 1, 2025, and January 15, 2026, at least 15 Hindus were murdered. These were not random muggings; they were targeted, premeditated hate crimes.
The Butcher’s Bill: 15 Murders in 45 Days yunus
The brutality of recent weeks defies the regime’s “criminal” narrative. The nature of the violence is explicitly religious and performative—designed to terrorize.
1. Taliban-Style Executions
Reports confirm that victims are not just killed; they are butchered.
-
Rana Pratap Bairagi, Shanto Chandra Das, and Jogesh Chandra Roy were found with their throats slit—a hallmark of Islamist extremism, not “land disputes.”
-
Suborna Roy, an elderly woman, was executed in a similarly brutal fashion.
2. Burning Them Alive
The horror peaked with the cases of Dipu Chandra Das and Khokon Chandra Das.
-
Dipu Chandra Das was lynched in Mymensingh, tied to a tree, and set on fire by a mob over unverified “blasphemy” allegations. The regime called this a “mob justice” incident.
-
Khokon Chandra Das, a businessman in Shariatpur, was attacked, doused in petrol, and burned alive on December 31, 2025.
3. Crushed for Existing
On January 16, 2026, Ripon Saha, a petrol pump worker, was deliberately crushed to death by a vehicle when he asked for payment. The perpetrators knew they could kill a Hindu worker with impunity in the current climate.
The “Political” Excuse: Equating Faith with Treason
The most insidious tool in Yunus’s arsenal is the “Awami League” tag. Since the fall of Sheikh Hasina in August 2024, the interim government has peddled the narrative that attacks on Hindus are “political retribution” against Awami League supporters, not religious persecution.
This argument falls apart under scrutiny.
-
Teenagers and Monks: Was 18-year-old Shanto Chandra Das a political operative? Was the imprisoned monk Chinmoy Krishna Das Prabhu a political thug?
-
The Truth: The “political” label is a yellow star pinned on the community to mark them as legitimate targets. It allows the West to look away, accepting the “political transition” excuse while a minority is hunted.
International Outcry vs. Domestic Denial yunus
While Yunus’s press wing spins fables, the world is beginning to recoil.
-
United Kingdom: British MP Bob Blackman expressed horror in the House of Commons this week, citing the “disastrous situation” where Hindus are murdered and temples burned.
-
India: New Delhi has officially rejected Dhaka’s statistics, with the MEA calling the attempt to attribute these attacks to extraneous reasons “troubling.”
-
European Union: EU election observers have warned that the upcoming February 2026 elections cannot be inclusive if the minority community faces such systemic violence.
Conclusion: A State-Sponsored Sham yunus
Muhammad Yunus was brought in to restore democracy. Instead, he presides over a regime that has normalized the persecution of Hindus. By labeling vicious, targeted assaults as “just criminal,” his government is not solving the crime; they are accomplices to it.
The statistics are fake, but the dead bodies are real. The Yunus regime’s sham is no longer just a political failure; it is a human rights catastrophe.
