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.
In a recorded statement, released at an Awami League event, the ousted PM said interim govt had silenced the Opposition, with 'all Awami League MPs, other dissenters being handcuffed'.
Many cases linked to killings during uprising name large number of people, many of whom had nothing to do with the violence. Yunus-led interim govt had earlier admitted to the problem.
ISKCON distances itself from Das, who, it says, was expelled from religious organisation earlier. He was arrested on charges of dishonouring Bangladesh's national flag.

Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
Yunus is just a puppet. His masters have lost power in Washington. Quite naturally, he is at the mercy of the Maulanas now. The Bangladeshi Islamic clergy understands this very well and is milking him in exchange for it’s support.
The most unfortunate part of this affair are the targeted pogroms against Bengali Hindus. The nauseating violence they are being subjected to makes us shudder.
