Forced by circumstances, the indigenous people of Khagrachhari had to take matters into their own hands. They set up blockades on key roads under the banner of ‘Jumma Chhatra Janata.’
It is part of a larger, calculated strategy orchestrated by radical Islamists and jihadists who seized power through what many now call the Jihadist Coup of 2024, orchestrated with the direct patronage of Nobel laureate-turned-Islamist-political-aspirant Muhammad Yunus.
Once the Constitution is scrapped, Yunus will acquire unchecked authority to dismiss President Muhammad Shahabuddin and Army Chief General Waker Uz Zaman, replacing the Bangladesh Armed Forces with his envisioned “Islamic Revolutionary Army” (IRA).
His reputation of being a 'Nobel laureate' and a champion of 'microfinance' gave hopes of 'renewed democracy' to the Bangladeshis. But the facade could only last 10 months. The growing discontentment, across all sections of society, against the interim government has now left Muhammad Yunus cornered.
'The AsiaPost News' shared screenshots, obtained from their sources, which show people close to the Yunus regime amassing millions of dollars in wealth. The unaccounted money is being stored in the online cryptocurrency exchange, Binance.
As per an IndiaToday report, a senior Bangladeshi army official has been put under surveillance for trying to stage a coup in the army. Army Chief Waker-Uz-Zaman issued the order after receiving information that Lieutenant General Faizur Rahman, a Quarter Master General (QMG), was planning to replace him.
Notably, this recommendation to remove secularism from constitution comes following months of violence against minorities, particularly Hindus, in Bangladesh under Muhammad Yunus government.
Bangladesh is opposing the fencing by the BSF along the Indo-Bangladesh border calling it a violation of a bilateral agreement between the two countries.
