Without a transparent and independent investigation, the Bangladesh Army’s attempt to dismiss the UN’s findings appears to be a shoddy way of hiding the truth.
National Citizens’ Party, floated by student leaders who led anti-Hasina stir, also aims to draft new constitution for Bangladesh. Hasina has accused its leaders of ‘taking power illegally’.
This is the 1st time a major political party is being set up outside the control of the Mujib-Zia family. It is also strictly against the involvement of the Jamaat in leadership roles.
General Waker-Uz-Zaman was speaking at an army memorial event. This comes after student unions of BNP & Jamaat blamed each other for violence gripping the country.
Bangladesh saw what Hasina’s ‘Aynaghars’ – torture and detention dens – looked like after Yunus visited them with media personnel and victims’ family members.
In a virtual meet with widows of 4 policemen killed in July uprising, the ex-Bangladesh PM said that Yunus & others responsible for the killings would be brought to justice ‘on Bangla soil’.
The Bangladesh Home Adviser’s statement and BGB’s aggression toward BSF is problematic. It can disturb the equilibrium and cause innumerable problems for border residents.
The 100-page report says the former govt orchestrated brutal response to protests, using live ammunition & excessive force, with Hasina asking officials to ‘kill & hide protesters’ bodies’.
The operation involves participation by multiple security forces of Bangladesh. Over 1,300 detained in 2 days after launch. Experts hope Yunus doesn’t set precedent of legal overreach.

India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
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.
