A statue commemorating Bangladesh's 1971 liberation was vandalized by "anti-India vandals," Congress leader Shashi Tharoor reported. The statue, located at the 1971 Shaheed Memorial Complex in Mujibnagar, depicted Pakistan's surrender to India and Bangladesh's Mukti Bahini. Tharoor expressed sadness, sharing an image of the damaged statue. He also highlighted recent attacks on Hindu temples and homes in Bangladesh following the resignation of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Tharoor urged Nobel laureate Muhammed Yunus, leading the interim government, to restore law and order amid ongoing violence against minorities in the country.
