Bangladesh Unrest Fuels Anti-India Hate: Is Yunus's Govt Complicit?

• Unrest after student leader Sharif Osman Hadi's death is being exploited to spread anti-India sentiment in Bangladesh.
• Intelligence reports suggest deliberate chaos aims to obstruct India-Bangladesh relations and Bangladesh's progress.
• Indian diplomatic missions faced attacks (stone-pelting at Chittagong Assistant High Commission, Dhaka High Commission blockade), highlighting government's failure to protect embassies.
• Jamaat-e-Islami networks were activated, and Dhaka police were reportedly paralyzed, instructed not to intervene, allowing attackers to escape.
• Interim head Yunus is seen as benefiting from this instability, seeking extremist support rather than suppressing fundamentalism ahead of elections.

Why It Matters: Bangladesh's interim government faces scrutiny for allowing anti-India sentiment to escalate amidst political instability.
