On February 5, an enraged crowd vandalized Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s house at Dhanmondi 32, setting it on fire before demolishing it with a bulldozer. Former State Minister Sohel Taj blamed the Awami League’s 15 years of killings, enforced disappearances, and corruption for the incident. In a Facebook post, he criticized the party’s failure to reflect and called on its supporters to unfollow him. Taj, son of Bangladesh’s first Prime Minister, remains vocal on social and political issues despite stepping away from active politics.
