I don't think this is a wise move.
People get too emotional and then can trigger a diplomatic event.
Bangladesh govt admin, security forces and political parties are still filled with Indian slaves. Until these people are removed from their position of power, no real change will happen. Barricading or attacking high commission offices or embassies just makes us look bad and serves no real benefit to Bangladesh.

What is happening right now is being viewed very adversely among the general population with many commentators now arguing that the Hadi killing was preplanned to create such a situation and that the Jamaat-e-Islami is behind it all with the likes of Pinaki and Elias who were calling for violence. I have provided a summary of some of these views -

Not for me to lecture Bangladeshis on their revolution but clearly, traps are being laid for Bangladesh by a retreating enemy. Important not to fall into them!

Angry protesters set The Daily Star office near Farmgate on fire in the early hours of Friday (19 December), following the vandalism and torching of a Prothom Alo building at Karwan Bazar, as unrest over the death of Inqilab Mancha Spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi escalated late on Thursday night.
Firefighters brought The Daily Star blaze under control at 1:40am, with two units from Tejgaon Fire Station on the scene, said Fire Service and Civil Defence Headquarters Inspector Anwarul Islam.

All The Daily Star staff have been successfully evacuated to a safe place by 4:30am, said reporter Mahmud Hasan.
"Thanks to the Bangladesh Army and the Fire Service. Special thanks to an army major whose valor today matched that of 'Major Rana,' the iconic fictional hero from Masud Rana series created by Kazi Anwar Hossain, for leading the evacuation operation," Mahmud wrote in a Facebook post.
Meanwhile, assistant director of the Fire Service and Civil Defence Kazi Nazmuzzaman said the fire was brought under control at 3:48am.
"There is no fire now. There is smoke because the upper ceiling has collapsed, and there are electrical wires," he said.
When asked whether anyone was trapped inside, he said, "We have not received any information about anyone being trapped inside."

NCP leaders Nahid Islam, Nasiruddin Patwari, and Samatha Sharmin, and former information adviser Mahfuj Alam, among others, visited the Daily Star office around 4am.
A section of the crowd has looted whatever they could, including CPUs, monitors, and chairs from The Daily Star office.
Renowned photographer Shahidul Alam, accompanied by others, also visited the scene, which is under heavy security presence at the moment.

Protesters remain gathered in front of The Daily Star office, with some seen entering the building alongside army personnel around 2:40am.

Members of the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) have arrived on the scene after 3am, and members of the army arrived at around 12:35am to control the situation. After RAB's arrival, the army personnel on-scene gave the protesters a 20-minute ultimatum to disperse.

Traffic begun moving again on the road in front of The Daily Star office around 3:50am.
At least 20 employees were initially trapped on the roof of the Daily Star building. With several others reportedly trapped in different floors.
Meanwhile, a fire service crane was deployed at The Daily Star building at around 1:40am to rescue the media workers trapped on the rooftop. By 2:30am, those employees were rescued.
Earlier, around 12:15am, the protesters reached The Daily Star office at Farmgate. They smashed glass panels, dragged out chairs, tables, and papers, and set them on fire while chanting slogans including "Naray-e-Takbir" and "Allahu Akbar."

"There is too much smoke in the building. Firefighters are struggling to come up using the stairs amid heavy smoke. It's pretty tough to breathe even up here. We are breathing through handkerchiefs and other articles of clothing," Subrata Roy, a sub-editor stuck with colleagues on The Daily Star's rooftop, told TBS over the phone.
Meanwhile, an agitated crowd gathered in front of the building, accompanied by another protest procession.
"The fire is spreading rapidly in The Daily Star office. Fire service vehicles are unable to move from Farmgate due to fear of the protesters and are seeking protection from the army and police. Many of us are still trapped inside," said reporter Tanjila Tasnim.

"All of my colleagues are on the rooftop. They can't breathe because of the smoke. Please pray for us," said Abdullah Md Abbas, a reporter at Daily Star.
Another Daily Star reporter Ahmed Deepto wrote on Facebook, "Such late-night duty should never come to anyone's life. I am trapped on the roof, please forgive me. The building is on fire, and I may not make it out."

The incident took place around Thursday midnight, multiple employees of the newspaper confirmed to The Business Standard over the phone, adding that some staff members were still trapped inside the office.
The group of people is yet to be identified. However, the group was seen going to Prothom Alo office from Shahbagh, where multiple organisations had gathered to protest after the news of Inqilab Mancha Spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi's death spread late on Thursday night (18 December).
Hundreds of demonstrators reached the Prothom Alo office around 11pm and later surrounded the building.
Dozens of youths then climbed the four-story building and vandalised the floors.
Soon after, the demonstrators piled up documents, papers, and furniture from the Prothom Alo office in front of the building and set them on fire.

I see most posters blaming India for any internal issues in Bangladesh. Just because Hasina is in India doesn’t mean that all ills within Bangladesh have been nurtured by India.
Bangladesh needs to find a solution for most of their problems by doing some self analysis. The current Bangla regime came into being with the promise of a fair election in a time bound manner. What happened to that? Why couldn’t elections be held till now?
Yunus had one task to do and he has failed to do that. Infact many of his actions are bordering on power grab and behaving like a dictator.
As time is passing the population is realising that the current regime may be a little lesser evil than many others in the past but nowhere as fair as promised.
Many endemic issues related to economy and employment are home grown and due to poor handling. Reduction in trade with India isn’t helping the matter either. Remember that Taiwan and China have a raging trade inspite of hostility of much higher proportions. Anti-India rhetoric was fine, but trade could have benefitted Bangladesh more than India.
Time to be more pragmatic and self critical for the current Bangla regime and it’s fanboys on the forum.

Law and order has completely collapsed in this godforsaken land. People are witnessing the sheer incompetence of both the army and the police. The country has turned into a cesspool of bigots who are terrorising citizens with complete impunity. These are not true Bangladeshis; they seek to erase everything that stands for our independence and liberal values.

Chhayanaut building vandalised, set on fire
ithun Singh, duty officer at Dhanmondi Model Police Station, confirmed the incident to Deshkal News.

A group of angry crowds vandalised and set fire to the building of the cultural organization Chayannat in Dhanmondi late Thursday night. The incident occurred around 2:00 am, with a large crowd present at the scene.
Mithun Singh, duty officer at Dhanmondi Model Police Station, confirmed the incident to Deshkal News. “The crowd vandalised the Chayannat building and set it on fire. We have alerted the fire service, and police officers are on-site along with our senior officials,” he said.
The violence follows earlier attacks linked to the death of Osman Hadi. Around 11:30 pm Wednesday, the student protesters attacked the office of the daily Prothom Alo in Karwan Bazar, causing property damage and setting parts of the building ablaze. They also attempted to set fire to the office of the English daily The Daily Star. The fire service faced initial obstruction but later brought the fire under control by approximately 1:45 am.

Bangladesh is already finished economically and culturally. Mobs r running free, vandalising everything with the passive support of the government. The country has been systematically broken into multiple factions, and a violent clash between them now feels inevitable.
As for India, let me be blunt, these NCP buggers have lost all public support and r despised nationwide. In a desperate bid to regain relevance and momentum before the election, they have deliberately orchestrated this incident to mobilise their terror gangs and drag the country back to the chaos of August 2024.
They r systematically provoking India, hoping for a harsh response so they can exploit it for their political campaign. Other than baseless, anti-India rhetoric, these scums have nothing to cling to.

I doubt that current Indian regime would give a knee jerk reaction. They are very calculative.
In a country of India’s size, there are bound to be many voices with differing views. People cherry pick such responses from the social media and try and colour it as official Indian view and portray that India is inciting these troubles.
If violence against Hindus is indeed being propagated by the government then that is highly deplorable. I see many people calling all Hindus as Hindutva with extremist intentions. Such people are as vile as any regime resorting to repression in the name of religion.

Bangladesh govt admin, security forces and political parties are still filled with Indian slaves.
I am surprised that BD authorities haven't been cleansed of the said Indian slaves yet.
