Bangladesh protests

Bangladesh interim govt to decide on President’s fate amid demands of his removal over his U-turn on Sheikh Hasina’s resignation letter

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.”

Bangladesh is in debt to five Indian power companies for more than $1 billion which provide electricity to it, and power supply can be cut if payment is not made

Muhyiddin Rabbani emphasised that Hefazat-e-Islam's goal is to establish an Islamic state in Bangladesh.

The prices of essential commodities in Bangladesh are expected to rise even more due to the supply chain disruptions.

Hindus in Bangladesh came out in large numbers in various cities in Bangladesh protesting against the attack on Hindus and temples by Muslims after the fall of Sheikh Hasina government.

Religious minorities, who are terrorised by BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami, cannot seek help from the police as the latter is now dependent on these Islamic extremists for protection.

Wazed termed the new government was unconstitutional because the Bangladeshi constitution states that a non-elected government cannot remain in power.
