Bangladesh

Amid demands for the ouster of Sheikh Hasina, the Bangladeshi Prime Minister had called for an intense crackdown on the demonstrators.

At least 90 people lost their lives while numerous others have been injured as the student protest has intensified across Bangladesh by the non-cooperation movement announced by the Anti-Discrimination Students Movement on Sunday

The protestors, who were earlier demanding revocation of quota and now seeking justice for the 200 odd-men who died in the previous agitation, have demanded resignation of PM Sheikh Hasina.

A careful scrutiny of the 15-point directives issued by the 'student protesters' reveals their ultimate agenda: to destroy Bangladesh’s economy and turn it into a bankrupt nation like Pakistan.

On Saturday, Sheikh Hasina called for a meeting with the senior teachers, college principals and the Vice-Chancellors of public and private universities in Bangladesh.

Violence was witnessed in Dhaka, Khulna, Sylhet, Narsingdi, Chattogram and Noakhali after Jumma Namaz.

From July 17, Jamaat-e-Islami, along with Al Qaeda-connected BNP perpetrated countrywide mayhem by hijacking student’s protests demanding reform in quota system in government jobs.

Republic Kannada spoke to Bangladeshi infiltrators, who spent between ₹2000-₹20000 to illegally enter India via Assam and West Bengal and travel to far-flung Karnataka.

Following the countrywide mayhem in Bangladesh, media commentaries are already questioning the organisational capabilities of the ruling Awami League.

Although the Awami League government has succeeded in foiling the attempt of the BNP-Jamaat nexus to capture power by unseating Sheikh Hasina, the coming days may bear much harder challenges as BNP-Jamaat is adamantly looking to return to power.
