Protesters in Bangladesh went on a rampage and ripped apart the historical residence of the country’s founding father Sheikh Mujibur Rahman ahead of a political speech by his daughter and ousted leader Sheikh Hasina.
Thousands marched in capital Dhaka on Wednesday night in a rally called a “bulldozer procession” to bring down the house of Rahman, Ms Hasina’s late father and Bangladesh’s independence leader who declared the country’s independence from Pakistan in 1971.
Dramatic visuals showed young men and women entering the building as several chanted “Hang, hang, hang – Sheikh Hasina must be hanged!” and “Delhi or Dhaka?
Hasnat Abdullah, a student leader, had warned media outlets against publication of Ms Hasina's speech and announced on Facebook that "tonight Bangladesh will be freed from the pilgrimage site of fascism".
