Bangladesh's interim government, led by Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus, launched ‘Operation Devil Hunt,’ arresting over 1,300 people in a nationwide crackdown on violence targeting Awami League leaders and properties. The unrest escalated after protesters set fire to the historic home of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The government vowed to root out “all devils” destabilizing the country. Meanwhile, BNP urged authorities to restore order, warning of a resurgence of “fascist” forces. Former PM Sheikh Hasina, ousted in 2024, remains in India. A command center now oversees the crackdown, as BNP plans nationwide rallies from February 11.
