New Delhi:
The Hindu community in Bangladesh spending anxious hours in the wake of resignation of Awami League leader Sheikh Hasina as Prime Minister and facing the spillovers of the violent protests over a quota-related issue in the South Asian nation on Sunday came out on streets in large numbers in the port city of Chittagong, demanding safety for their lives, properties and places of worship while proclaiming 'Bangladesh is our motherland and we won't go anywhere'.
There have been reports of widespread and targeted violence against the Hindus in Bangladesh, with the matter being taken note by the UN which called out the interim Bangladeshi government led by Mohammed Yunus to safeguard the minorities.
Nobel Peace Prize-winning economist Yunus, who was sworn in as the head of Bangladesh's interim government on Thursday, has also condemned the attacks on the minority communities, terming them as "heinous".
