Hasina “provocative remarks" fueled Dhanmondi-32 vandalism: Govt

Terming the vandalism at Dhanmondi-32 residence as unfortunate and unexpected, the interim government has said it was manifestation of people anger incited by the "provocative remarks" made by fugitive Sheikh Hasina from India against the July uprising.
For the past six months, no attacks or incidents of destruction had taken place at the historic residence and tensions escalated following Sheikh Hasina provocative statements which offended those who sacrificed their lives during the July uprising, the Chief Adviser press wing said in a statement on Thursday.
Her remarks had two key aspects—first, she disrespected the martyrs of the uprising by making derogatory and unfounded claims about their deaths and second, despite fleeing the country in the wake of the uprising, she has continued to issue threats and warnings in a tone reminiscent of her tenure in power, said the statement.
