Bangladesh 's prime minister resigns after mass protests in country that is 90% Muslim .

Hindu minorities in Bangladesh , he says, are viewed as supporters of secular Awami League party .

Hindus are often attacked by rivals in a country where Islam is the state religion.

Human rights group: At least 3,679 attacks on the Hindu community between 2013 and 2021 .

A mob gathered outside Mr Sarkar ’s 10 -storey apartment building in Dhaka , where he lives with his wife and infant daughter.

He reckoned they had come looking for a councillor from Awami League who lived in the same building.

"I came out on my sixth -floor balcony and saw the crowd throwing stones at the building and trying to break in," he says.
