Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) and Bangladesh Legal Aid and Services Trust (BLAST) yesterday expressed deep concern over the recent incidents of vandalism and violence across the country, including at Dhanmondi-32.

In a statement, TIB described the acts of violence as “unusual” and criticised the government for not preventing such incidents.

The anti-corruption watchdog warned that the emerging situation poses risks to democratic transition, good governance, and state stability. They urged the government to play an active role in controlling and preventing further unrest rather than merely issuing statements.

Calling for respect for the rule of law and an end to destructive activities, TIB Executive Director Iftekharuzzaman said, “There is no way to deny that dictator Sheikh Hasina, accused of committing mass killing, and her aides did the most irreplaceable damage to Bangabandhu, the Liberation War, and the spirit of the Liberation War during authoritarian rule driven by endless lust for partisanship and dynasticism.
