According to a story in India Today, top advisor Muhammad Yunus ordered the removal of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's image from the president's office, marking yet another instance of the interim administration in Bangladesh caving in to student demands. Bangladesh's founding father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, was also the father of Sheikh Hasina, who was compelled to flee the nation due to the student uprisings, which frequently descended into violence.

Demonstrators seized whatever they could find when they attacked the former prime minister's home during the post-upheaval period. Her father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, whose legacy has so far persisted through street names, public landmarks, and passionate speeches, became the target of the demonstrators' ire as Sheikh Hasina left. 

At Bijoy Sarani in the centre of Dhaka, several demonstrators scaled his monument and tore it down. Vandals vandalised public paintings that portrayed Bangabandhu or "Friend of Bengal." Also Read: There is a limit to the tale of how we brought you freedom.

Protesters severely damaged the Dhanmondi home where Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and the majority of his family were killed on August 15, 1975. The home was eventually turned into a monument. The Dhaka University area's mosaic panel was vandalised. Many worry that his legacy will gradually be forgotten.

Sheikh Hasina, 76, resigned as prime minister on August 5 amid widespread protests against her government. The students protested against the government jobs' quota system that favoured the families of the veterans of 1971 war. With no solution in sight, the protests became violent. Rahman was born in 1920 in undivided India. Bangladesh evolved from Bengal presidency to East Bengal to East Pakistan and eventually as a separate nation born in 1971.

On his death anniversary, 10 days after Sheikh Hasina fled, a large group of stick-wielding people positioned themselves in front of the Bangabandhu's residence-turned-museum and foiled attempts by deposed premier Sheikh Hasina’s supporters to commemorate the anniversary of the assassination of her father and Bangladesh's founder Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
