Bulldozing history in Bangladesh?

The Awami League, which led Bangladesh’s liberation war, cannot be dismissed from politics.

On February 5, six months after the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s government in Bangladesh, a mob brought down Dhanmondi 32, the residence of Bangladesh’s independence icon and Hasina’s father, the late Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Dhanmondi 32 epitomises so much of history as it was the same house where Rahman and his family members were assassinated during a military coup in August 1975. Along with Dhanmondi 32, the homes of Awami League (AL) leaders/ministers, including the former President’s house, were attacked and set ablaze across the country.
