Global media reports on Bangladeshi Hindus' fear, with Dhaka alleging India exaggerates this to score political points, aid Hasina's return. It also notes problems with concerts in India.
This is the first time an official extradition request has been sent to India for Hasina's extradition. The former Bangladesh PM has been in India since she was ousted in August.
Bangladesh-based ICT has issued arrest warrants against the 77-year-old. There is an existing extradition treaty with India under which Hasina can be deported, Dhaka said.
More than rewriting history, what has bothered Dhaka watchers is Yunus’ seeming acceptance of the rise of radicalism in Bangladesh since Hasina’s exit.
Yunus govt had appealed against 2020 HC ruling declaring 'Joy Bangla' national slogan. Bangladesh SC stays HC judgment, says it's govt's policy decision and judiciary can't interfere.
Global media highlights India's growth slump, noting some slowdown was expected due to govt's fiscal consolidation & RBI’s inflation control measures, but warns of 'tough times ahead'.
In her virtual address, the ex-PM reflected on her family's role in 1971 Liberation War, spoke of 'assassination attempts' on her & accused Yunus-led govt of failing to protect minorities.
The Yunus government is fighting the issue of banning the Awami League on two fronts. On one side stand the ordinary Bangladeshis, and on the other are the BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami.
Disenfranchisement by institutional fiat is profoundly undemocratic. The effect of the ECI's new documentary process in Bihar will tilt the scales in favour of the BJP.
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.
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.
