Bangladesh protests

In a stark contrast to its neighbours, who have undergone violent protests that resulted in regime change, violence, democratic collapse and economic pushback, India has braved all storms displaying its resilience as a stable democratic force.

This comes after the Muhammad Yunus-led regime in Bangladesh banned all activities of the Awami League under the revised Anti-Terrorism Act in May 2025.

The administration has so far arrested and imprisoned over 100 Awami League MPs and former ministers under multiple offenses including prominent woman leader Dipu Moni.

The protests that were temporarily suspended based on assurances from the chief adviser and other officials resumed on Friday afternoon (September 13), with members of the Hindu community in Bangladesh returning to the streets to demand an end to the repression of minorities.

Head of interim government in Bangladesh, Muhammad Yunus, sought to downplay the targeted attacks against Hindus, dismissing reports of anti-Hindu persecution as grossly exaggerated.

Bangladesh foreign affairs advisor Mohammed Touhid Hossain has said that his country could consider seeking the extradition of Sheikh Hasinabut that would create an “embarrassing situation for the Indian government.”
