Thank you, Jon, for continuing to advocate for a new Bangladesh. As someone with family ties there, it’s devastating to see how much damage Hasina’s regime has done over the past 15 years. She has destroyed institutions, enabled the looting of financial systems, and allowed billions to flow out of the country. Worse still, the abductions, secret imprisonments, and killings have left scars that cannot be erased.

Most of the attacks since August 5 stem from people associated with BAL, showing how deeply the rot runs. I used to travel to Bangladesh often, and my family house was surrounded by Hindus in a beautiful village. I witnessed firsthand how peacefully communities coexisted, and it’s heartbreaking to see that harmony threatened by those who exploit division for political gain.

The propaganda since Hasina’s ouster is a desperate attempt by her and her defenders to deflect accountability. But the path they’re on will ensure they can never return to power. Never again means never again.

Grateful for your voice and efforts in this fight.
