Bangladesh's interim government has condemned recent attacks on Hindus and other religious minorities following the ouster of autocratic leader Sheikh Hasina. In its first official statement, the interim cabinet expressed "grave concern" over the violence, promising to "find ways to resolve such heinous attacks." Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, now leading the interim administration, assured that support would be provided to affected families and the metro system in Dhaka would reopen soon. Yunus stated, "Restoring law and order is our first priority." This transition follows a student-led uprising that ended Hasina's 15-year rule marked by severe human rights abuses.
