The interim government has described the vandalism at the historic residence of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at Dhanmondi 32 as "unintended and undesirable."
The remarks were made in a statement issued by the Chief Adviser’s Press Wing on Thursday.
The statement attributed the incident to the public's reaction to statements made by Sheikh Hasina from exile in India, which it said had provoked deep anger among the people.
The statement noted that there had been no attacks or destruction at House 32 in the past six months, but that the vandalism occurred on Wednesday night following Sheikh Hasina’s recent remarks.
"Sheikh Hasina has insulted and disrespected those who sacrificed their lives during the July uprising. Her statements were absurd, hateful, and demeaning to the martyrs of the movement," it said.
"Even after fleeing the country in the face of the mass uprising, Sheikh Hasina continues to issue threats against those involved in the movement. When she was in power, she engaged in corruption, terrorism, and inhumane activities, and now she is attempting to create instability in the country with her rhetoric," the statement added.
The interim government claimed that public anger over her remarks was the cause behind the vandalism at House 32.
The statement said that law enforcement agencies are on high alert to protect lives and property and that they are working to restore order.
It warned that refraining from making provocative statements could prevent further incidents.
It also reiterated that Sheikh Hasina is under a warrant for crimes against humanity and criticized India for allowing her to use its territory to make statements that, according to the interim government, could incite unrest in Bangladesh.
The interim government emphasized that the trial of those responsible for the July uprising massacre is ongoing and that it is committed to ensuring justice.
"Legal steps will be taken against those involved in any provocative activities," the statement concluded.
