Bangladesh's new interim government said on Sunday (August 11, 2024) it was working to resolve attacks on Hindus and other religious minorities reported after the dramatic ouster of autocratic Premier Sheikh Hasina.

Hindus are the largest minority faith in mostly Muslim Bangladesh and are considered a steadfast support base for Ms. Hasina's party, the Awami League.

After Ms. Hasina's abrupt resignation and flight abroad on Monday (August 5, 2024) brought an end to her 15 years of autocratic rule, there were numerous reports of attacks against Hindu households, temples and businesses.
