How Pakistan Actively Works Against Bangladesh’s Interests Two Bangladeshis were executed in Saudi Arabia on October 14. Reports circulating online allege that a Pakistani national recorded them and alerted Saudi authorities. If that allegation is true, serious questions must be asked. Why should Bangladesh ignore conduct that could put its citizens at risk simply because Pakistan speaks the language of friendship? Bangladesh deserves answers, not diplomatic theatrics. #Bangladesh #Pakistan #JusticeForBangladeshis

The president of Ward No. 41 Jubo League was harrased by a mob while he was praying at the Puja mandap in Shankhari Bazar and handed over to the police. This is a typical act by BNP leaders. During he tenure of Sheikh Hasina and Awami League, BNP leaders not only celebrated religious festivals but also became members of Puja organizing committees. But after August 2024, by the grace of the sly and Machiavellian businessman Nobel Laureate Yunus and his successor, the dark prince of kleptocracy, Tarique Rahman, communal harmony is disappearing, while allegations of systematic political persecution of minorities and opposition groups emerge beneath the surface. Ordinary Hindu devotees are facing insecurity on the one hand, while artificial controversies and political theatrics are allegedly being orchestrated on the other to disrupt their sacred religious celebrations. #DurgaPuja #AwamiLeague #HumanRights

Let us begin with a case. In Chattogram, a BNP leader filed a case alleging disrespect to the national flag. The allegations were so absurd that even the BNP expelled the leader from the party. In other words, the very party that is now in power had, at one point, acknowledged through its own action that the case was unjustified. Yet Sannyasi Chinmoy Das has remained behind bars for nearly two years in connection with that very case. The person who initiated the case has been disowned by his own party, but the accused remains imprisoned. Do those in power have an answer to this glaring contradiction? While Chinmoy was delivering a speech at Laldighi Maidan, a group of young men hoisted a saffron flag on a separate stand above the Bangladeshi national flag at New Market Square, nearly one kilometre away. One person delivered the speech; others raised the flag. Yet it was the former who ended up in prison. If this is the logic being applied, the speaker at any public gathering could be held responsible for any incident occurring anywhere in the surrounding area. During a clash among lawyers near the court premises, lawyer Alif was killed. Chinmoy was also shown as arrested in connection with that murder case. Yet when Alif was killed, Chinmoy was sitting inside a police prison van, already detained in police custody. How could someone whom the state itself had confined be responsible for orchestrating another person's murder in full view of the state? No explanation has been forthcoming to this day. What better definition of a travesty of justice could there be? Chinmoy's mother has died. While she was alive, she had only one wish: to see her son's face one last time. The state denied her that wish. Even accused murderers are sometimes permitted to attend the final rites of their loved ones. Here, however, a mother's final plea was rejected. Before the eyes of the entire country, a religious minority was humiliated in broad daylight, and no one appeared to feel the consequences. Now let us turn to the statistics that the government used to demonstrate how well Hindus were doing in Bangladesh. Last year, the country had 33,000 Durga Puja mandaps—2,000 more than the previous year. On paper, that figure looks impressive in an official government statement. But during the same year, groups of Muslim clerics reportedly went from one mandap to another, tearing off the beards of the demon Mahishasura depicted in the idols, allegedly claiming that the beards insulted the image of Islam. In a country where religious insult can supposedly be found in the facial hair of a demon sculpted from clay, measuring security by counting Puja mandaps is absurd. The greatest irony is that Jahangir, the then Home Affairs Adviser, described such arrangements as a “conspiracy” and threatened to arrest the organisers themselves. Those who had already been subjected to attacks were the very people who received the threats. And this was not an isolated incident. Deepu Chandra Das. Matua community families in Abhaynagar, Jashore. Hriday Ravidas of Kishoreganj. Families in Gangachara, Rangpur. The dismissal of 94 out of 99 Hindu trainees from SI training over an alleged failure to eat breakfast. The demolition of a Durga temple on railway land in Khilkhet in a manner described as deeply disrespectful. These are not merely a list of unrelated mishaps. The circumstances of each incident differ, but the religious identity of those affected remains the same. To dismiss the fact that 94 out of 99 people belonged to the same religious community as mere coincidence would be an insult to statistics themselves. The question now is: what are those in power doing? The case filed by the BNP originated with a leader whom the party itself expelled, yet the accused in that case remains behind bars. Jamaat-e-Islami shares in parliamentary power, but finding its voice on the question of minority rights requires a microscope. One party makes promises, another shares in the exercise of power, and in between, a sannyasi spends year after year in prison. When the government holds power, how long should it take to bring an end to a case that is being questioned on such fundamental grounds? Both parties owe the public an answer to this simple question. Then why do Hindus in Bangladesh remain silent? The reason is not an inability to speak; it is a calculation of risk. Most want the situation to change. But speaking out carries the fear of being singled out, and at the furthest end of that fear lies the possibility of losing one's life. There is also a sense of inferiority born of being a numerical minority—a feeling that forces people to diminish themselves in their own country, day after day. And then comes the most difficult question: who will stand behind them? If someone dies or is arrested while protesting today, will anyone stand by their side tomorrow? Chinmoy's case itself offers a troubling answer. The man who took to the streets to speak up for his community has found that even the protests demanding justice for him remain weak. No struggle by a minority has ever succeeded without the support of a larger force, and Bangladesh's Hindus do not have such a force standing behind them. On one side, the beard of a demon depicted in a religious idol is torn off. On the other, a man sits in prison, unable to see his mother's face one last time. Between these two scenes stands a country where the phrase “A Bangladesh for All” is no longer a slogan of unity. It has become a cruel joke.⁩ #Bangladesh #SaveBangladeshiHindus

Beef Cooked in Front of a Temple: Religious Provocation at Jagannath University? A Chhatra Shibir-organised gathering reportedly took place directly in front of Jagannath University’s central temple, where beef was cooked, triggering concerns over religious sensitivities and communal harmony. A university campus should be a place of learning, tolerance and mutual respect, not a battleground for religious provocation. If religious freedom matters, it must be respected for every faith. Where is the accountability?⁩ #DurgaPuja #ReligiousHatred

Radical Islamist fury rages across Bangladesh: Inside hospital Islamists mob tortured mentally challenged youth to death over ridiculous blasphemy charges Independent report reveals, a 38 year Waziduzzaman Shamim has become yet another victim who fell prey to the Islamist rage. With pre announcement his killers beaten him to death in several of phases over fictitious blasphemy changes. And appeased the mob instead of standing for a citizen’s right to life. First the unruly fanatic Islamist mob held him captive and beaten him ruthlessly in Southern Bangladesh village on Tuesday. Then again after cops shifted him to hospital the Islamist savages stormed into the hospital, grabbed him from bed and kept beating him to ensure his death. Months before Dipu Das, another youth, was beaten and burnt to death over blasphemy charges. Over last two years, Independent minority rights bodies documented an unprecedented rise in persecution of minority youths outrageous blasphemy cases. For those western countries and UN officials who packaged the rise of Islamist extremists including Jamaat e Islami as democratic forces in Bangladesh and advocated for so called reform, these brutal killings blew ourt their outright hypocrisy, a damning indictment to Jamaat’s brazen advocacy for Islamist rule with total impunity from law enforcement, earlier spearheaded by Yunus regime. #Bangladesh #BangladeshCrisis

How anti Indian tirade weaponised to suppress dissenters in Bangladesh At the top of their voices the attackers chanted slogans calling me an Indian stooge without any proof to justify this violence. That mob kept pelting stones and brick chips at my residence and publicly threatened with further attacks”, GM Qader, chairperson of opposition Jatiya Party after violent mob vandalised him residence in broad daylight. The impunity of orchestrating such ruthless and barbaric aggression on opposition leader and the impunity to impose ridiculous and arbitrary tagging of dissenters as Indian agent further proved that ongoing anti Indian tirades are a mere tool to persecute opponents. tbsnews.net/bangla/banglades… #Bangladesh #MobViolence

Extremism is back—and Bangladesh cannot afford to ignore the danger. The resurgence of extremist forces threatens the country’s hard-won progress, religious pluralism, democratic values, and national security. The growing concerns over BNP-Jamaat’s alleged patronage of extremist elements demand serious scrutiny. Bangladesh must not allow extremism to gain political legitimacy at the expense of peace, tolerance, and the rule of law. The stakes extend far beyond partisan politics: they concern the future of the nation. 👉bdperspectives.com/3320/ #BangladeshCrisis #ReligiousExtremism

Jamaat’s Cultural War: Targeting Rabindranath Tagore and Bangladesh’s National Identity — As Jamaat e Islami ameer embarked on a visit to Turkey, its foot soldiers in Bangladesh further stepped up ongoing cultural genocide to erase Bangladesh’s cultural icons who are recognised by the world as symbol of tolerance and peace. In addition, the polymath, Rabindranath’a lyrics was adopted as the national anthem in 1971 during the Bangladesh Liberation War (officially declared on January 13, 1972). supporters of Jamaat, doubled down on erasing the legacy of patriotism using the facade of anti Indian sentiment. As part of the plan, self styled handful of so called revolutionaries painted black ink on Rabindranath’s painting only to be faced with resistance. For five decades his written anthem inspired millions of Bangladeshis instilling a sense of patriotism but abhorred by war criminals from Jamaat e Islami that committed genocide in 1971 with pak army. But after the regime change in 2024, son of notorious war criminal Abdullahil Azmi publicly called for changing the national anthem, drawing flak from millions of liberals. Weeks earlier, these pro Islamists also sought to glorify Muhammad Ali Jinnah by installing his photo but later removed in face of public outburst. #Bangladesh

Is anti-India hysteria in Bangladesh a political smokescreen? Spy planes to espionage charges, unsubstantiated claims raise serious questions. Is the rhetoric designed to divert attention from Islamist extremism and political failures?

The NCP promised reform, a new political culture and a better Bangladesh. Instead, it has increasingly become part of the politics of exclusion, division and opportunism. When “reform” becomes a cover for political revenge and silencing opponents, it is no longer reform—it is betrayal. 👉bdperspectives.com/3313/how-… #BangladeshCrisis #IslamicMillitants

A Radical Power Grab in Bangladesh Could Put the Entire Region at Risk A late-September intelligence report alleges that a Jamaat-e-Islami network, backed by Pakistan and Turkey, is preparing to crush its political opponents and violently overthrow Bangladesh’s elected government in November — all to install a radical “revolutionary” regime with Muhammad Yunus as the face. Targeted killings. Weapons smuggling. Militia training. Pressure on Hindus. If this succeeds, Bangladesh will not become more democratic. It will become more radical, more unstable, and more dangerous. And India will wake up to a second hostile front on its eastern border. That means greater security risks, greater threat of cross-border radicalisation, and greater danger for ordinary people living in India’s border states. This is not “internal affairs.” This is a regional security bomb. How long will the world keep looking away? #Bangladesh #Radicalism

Religious Minorities Must Never Become Hostages In A Geopolitical Struggle. According to Subir Bhaumik’s report, attacks and extortion targeting Hindus in Bangladesh could be used to pressure India over its political and diplomatic positions. This allegation demands urgent, independent investigation. If minorities are being targeted as part of a political strategy, the consequences could be devastating - not only for the victims, but also for Bangladesh’s social cohesion and its relations with neighbouring countries. No community should live in fear because of its religion. No political objective can justify communal persecution. Bangladesh must protect every citizen, and allegations of organised attacks must be investigated transparently. The international community must not look away. #Bangladesh #ReligiousMinority

Is A New Extremist Sanctuary Forming In South Asia? A recent report by Subir Bhaumik raises serious concerns about Bangladesh’s future. It alleges that a Jamaat-e-Islami-led network is planning to weaken political opposition and seize power, with backing from Pakistan, Turkey, and other foreign actors. The alleged plan involves two phases: “Operation Domon” to suppress opposition, followed by “Operation Dokhol” to overthrow the government and establish a “revolutionary government” tied to the July Charter. If these allegations are true, the consequences could be devastating, not just for Bangladesh, but for the entire region. A radicalised, unstable Bangladesh could create new security threats for India, fuel extremism, and put countless lives at risk. The world must take these warning signs seriously. South Asia cannot afford another crisis driven by political violence and extremism. #Bangladesh #Conspiracy #Extremism

What happens when an elected government is targeted for removal by a radical network with foreign backing? Subir Bhaumik’s recent report alleges that a Jamaat-e-Islami-led network, with backing from Pakistan, Turkey, and elements of the so-called “US Deep State,” is pursuing a two-phase strategy in Bangladesh: first, crush the Awami League through “Operation Domon”; then, topple the BNP government through “Operation Dokhol” and install a “revolutionary government” tied to the July Charter. The allegations of targeted killings, weapons procurement, militia training, and attacks on Hindus are deeply disturbing. They demand urgent, independent investigation. #Bangladesh #Conspiracy
