On the afternoon of Monday, 5 August 2024 — hundreds of protestors barged into the official residence of the Prime Minister in Bangladesh. It happens just a few minutes after the Bangladeshi Army safely deported five-time Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to India. A large crowd was not there to protest, they were there to loot, vandalise and display the state of anarchy that ultimately paints a true picture of poverty and lawlessness in Bangladesh.
There are so many videos that are going viral on social media which show a horrific picture of poverty and lawlessness in a crumbling democracy of an Islamic country. Amidst the looted furniture, stolen Prime Minister's saris, undergarments, and some people vandalising the residence - *one shocking video came out on social media*. A man stolen a bra from the Prime Minister's residence, and the agitated crowd went mad on seeing women's undergarments. People lifted the man on their shoulders and cheered as the bra was displayed as a trophy. It was not only a blatant display of the lawlessness prevailing in Bangladesh, but also a horrifying message of what awaited her and her family had she stayed there. She could be raped and murdered as it happens everywhere, when law and order totally fails, women are the first to be raped and killed.
The extremist Islamic ideology that fueled and organized these protests hates democracy and equality, it takes pride in keeping women under its boots. Extremists always hate people of democratic thinking, they consider it an insult to their Islamic ideology, especially when the management and control is in the hands of a woman.
