A video of a man delivering a speech at a mass gathering is viral on social media. It is being claimed that the man is a Bangladeshi Muslim and he is issuing an ultimatum to the Hindu minorities in the country to leave Bangladesh in a week.<\/p>\n

In the viral video, the speaker says in Bengali: “I want to warn you, if we have to get to the streets for justice, we will do it again. They are still conspiring. I don’t know if you are aware of that. Sometimes posing as Hindus, as minorities, as Chittagong press club, as leaders of the press club or as journalists. I want to warn those people, don’t make excuses, leave the country. Run while you can. Your father has fled, your dada (elder brothers) have fled, Sheikh Hasina has fled. Don’t try to mess around, and don’t cause trouble. I’m warning you, be cautious. I\u2019m giving you a one-week ultimatum. After that, I will deal with you. As long as I live, I will deal with you.”<\/p>\n

In July and August of 2024, Bangladesh witnessed widespread protests that escalated into violence, ultimately resulting in the ouster of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on August 5, who had held office for 15 years. Following her resignation, several reports of attacks against minorities in the country came to light. This video, too, is being shared in that context; to show the alleged persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh.<\/p>\n
