Attack on Shakib Hasan's House Exposes Bangladesh's Fractured Politics The attempted arson attack on former cricket captain and ex lawmaker Shakib Al Hasan's house in Magura district is a stark reminder of the toxic politics that has gripped Bangladesh.
Unidentified individuals allegedly threw brick chips at Shakib's residence, vandalized windows, and attempted to set the house on fire just hours after he attended a media interaction addressed by ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
This incident is not an isolated event but rather a symptom of a larger disease afflicting Bangladesh's democratic institutions.
