Bangladesh Protests: Former Indian Diplomat Blames Economic Strain, Political Opportunists
Former Indian Foreign Secretary and ex-Ambassador to Bangladesh, Harsh Vardhan Shringla, has analysed the ongoing crisis in Bangladesh, attributing it to a mix of economic hardship, political opportunism, and possible foreign interference.
Shringla emphasised that while the protests ostensibly stem from issues like job quotas, deeper economic problems—including the impact of COVID-19 and the Ukraine conflict—have exacerbated the situation.
He suggested that political groups like the BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami, as well as foreign actors, may be fueling the unrest to their advantage, contributing to the volatility in Bangladesh.

In the wake of escalating violence against minorities in Bangladesh, hundreds have taken to the streets of Dhaka to demand urgent protections for Hindus and other vulnerable communities. Following the ousting of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in August, minority groups report a significant increase in threats and attacks, perceived as reprisals due to their support for her regime. The caretaker government, led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, has condemned these attacks but insists many are politically motivated rather than based on religious intolerance.

Dmitry Medvedev shared a video of Russia’s Oreshnik hypersonic missile striking a Ukrainian defense facility in Dnepropetrovsk, clarifying that it wasn’t an ICBM, but a medium-range missile developed after the US withdrew from the INF Treaty. The strike responded to Ukraine's use of Western long-range missiles against Russian territory. Putin warned further actions by Ukraine and its allies would trigger a suitable response, emphasizing the Oreshnik’s speed makes it invincible to air defenses.
