Bangladesh's interim government is completing six months into power this month after former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was ousted in August last year in a student-led mass uprising.

Protesters in Bangladesh went on a rampage and ripped apart the historical residence of the country’s founding father Sheikh Mujibur Rahman ahead of a political speech by his daughter and ousted leader Sheikh Hasina.

Thousands of protesters set fire to the home of Bangladesh's founding leader as his daughter, ousted former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, called on her supporters to stand against the interim government.
