Bangladesh

Bangladesh's interim government, under Muhammad Yunus, is actively deepening engagements with Pakistan and China while simultaneously denying any intent to form alliances targeting India.

Despite Yunus’s decades-long involvement in promoting and funding LGBTQ causes globally, a growing segment of Islamic leaders in Bangladesh now view him favourably. This contradictory narrative exposes the fragile and often opportunistic dynamics of Bangladeshi politics, where ideological lines can be redrawn overnight.

India is seeking a shorter, updated Ganga treaty with Bangladesh to meet development needs. Bangladesh fears reduced water share. Climate concerns, domestic politics and regional tensions are expected to shape the outcome of talks.

According to reports, the extremists gathered outside the 'Sri Sri Durga Mandir' and gave an ultimatum to the Hindu devotees to remove the temple by 12 pm on Tuesday (24th June).

'Blasphemy' has been a new weapon in the arsenal of violent Muslim mobs, which have become emboldened under the incumbent regime of Muhammad Yunus

Islamist groups accused Hindu Man Sohag Das of hurting the sentiments of the Muslim community and committing blasphemy.

"Necessary steps must be taken to prevent looting of our valuables. I am making a heartfelt request to the government. The Hindu community is unable to bear the atrocities committed against it," a Hindu woman stated.

Even recently, Muhammad Yunus was upset with OpIndia for not downplaying and whitewashing Islamist violence against Hindus by coming up with ‘Muslim human-chain protecting Hindu temples’ sort of falsehoods, reporting facts.

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).
