After the government change in Bangladesh police looked into 1415 complaints about attacks on minority groups. They wanted to know if these attacks were happening because of community problems or something else. This investigation focused on the time right after the government fell. Muhammad Shoaib shared what they found.
The investigation discovered that most of the attacks nearly 99% were actually caused by politics not community issues. These political attacks happened all over Bangladesh and affected different minority groups. The reason behind these political attacks is still being studied. Police checked each complaint carefully to figure this out.
Only a small number of attacks about 1.6% were caused by tensions between communities. This shows that a lot of the attacks against minorities were not simply because of community problems but mostly due to political reasons during this specific time in Bangladesh. The article didn’t say which groups were involved in the political violence.
