Bangladesh’s interim government, headed by Nobel Peace laureate Muhammad Yunus, says his makeshift administration will contain vandalism and arson after a historic house tied to ousted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was demolished by angry protesters.

Bangladesh's interim government said on Friday it would contain the vandalism and arson being committed across the South Asian country amid concern from a major Bangladeshi opposition political party and neighboring India over attacks on a historic house linked to ousted former prime minister Sheikh Hasina.

Bangladesh's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has lodged a strong protest with the Indian Government over the ‘false and fabricated’ comments and statements being made by former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

Bangladesh on Thursday formally protested to India over the activities of ousted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina during her stay in the country, labeling them as provocative. Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain stated that the Indian Deputy High Commissioner was summoned in the absence of the High Commissioner and handed a protest note.
