Bangladesh Student Protests: After months of mass upheaval and the consequent exit of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh got its new leader in Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus as he took oath as the chief adviser of country’s interim government. In a recent update, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, the son of Sheikh Hasina who quit as prime minister and fled Bangladesh, has blamed Pakistan for fueling the unrest in the country.
Sajeeb Wazed Joy has claimed circumstantial evidence suggesting foreign interference and alleged involvement of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency. “I am quite certain given the circumstantial evidence; I suspect Pakistan ISI’s involvement. The attacks and protests were very coordinated, meticulously planned, and intentional efforts to keep inflaming the situation through social media. No matter what the government did to control the situation, they kept trying to worsen it,” said Joy.
Sajeed Joy further informed that Sheikh Hasina will return to Bangladesh as soon as democracy is restored. His claims of Pakistan’s involvement are reassured with the fact that protesting students had attacked the police with guns that could only be provided by terror outfits.
Meanwhile, the student leaders who proposed his candidacy believe that Yunus’s vision for a society free from poverty and unemployment aligns with the aspirations of the Bangladeshi populace. Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to his official account in X to congratulate Muhammad Yunus.
As the new chief adviser, Yunus faces the daunting task of stabilising a nation in turmoil and addressing the demands for human rights and democratic reforms. His leadership will be crucial in guiding the interim government through this transitional period, as the country seeks to heal from the recent violence and political strife.
