Hindu rights activist Jayanta Karmakar says Bangladesh police had been targeting Chinmoy Krishna ever since he became 'face of Hindu resistance against targeted attacks by radicals'.
Bangladesh chief adviser Muhammad Yunus has recommended appointment of a 'reputed law & investigative firm' to assist in review of at least 7 power contracts signed during Hasina regime.
Moody's, which downgraded country's rating from B1 to B2, also notes that ‘nascent reemergence of community-based tensions’, risk of further deterioration in law & order may dampen growth.
Yunus allegedly made a big donation to the Clinton Foundation ahead of Hillary Clinton’s bid for US presidency. On his part, Trump had reportedly said: “Where’s the micro-finance guy from Dhaka?’
In interview with Al Jazeera, Yunus, who assumed power after Sheikh Hasina’s ouster this August, also terms reports of attacks on minorities ‘baseless propaganda originating from India’.
Muhammad Yunus doesn’t have a magic bullet, but rising unemployment, spiralling prices, and a lack of an electoral roadmap are eroding the legitimacy of Bangladesh’s interim government.
167 journalists, a number of whom covered Sheikh Hasina's PMO & Awami League, have had accreditations revoked in series of notifications, denying them access to govt offices & secretariat.
Move, comes after interim govt cancelled 8 national holidays instituted by Sheikh Hasina, including ones on the birth and death anniversaries of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Awami League leader has accused Muhammad Yunus & 61 others of serious crimes under Article 15 of Rome Statute—the ICC’s founding treaty—which pertains to crimes against humanity.
Bangladeshi experts and editorials contend that while impact on country may not be immediate or radical, it could bring changes in political dynamics, trade, and ties with India, China.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
PTC Industries is investing Rs 1,000 cr in 4 manufacturing plants in UP, has already started supplying titanium parts to BAE Systems for its M-777 howitzers that India also uses.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
