Bangladesh: Yunus Regime Weaponizes Hindu Persecution for Electoral Gain, Radicalism Soars

  • Persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh, exemplified by Dipu Chandra Das's lynching, is linked to the Yunus regime's electoral strategy for the February 2026 election.
  • The interim government is accused of weaponizing religion, communal bigotry, and anti-India sentiment to promote religious nationalism and overshadow other issues.
  • Jamaat-e-Islami and its affiliates are gaining political relevance, allegedly influencing the government and pushing for radicalization, making the upcoming election an "electoral parody."
  • Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus is criticized for misusing his office, releasing prisoners, making provocative statements, and fostering an environment of lawlessness and aggression against minorities.
  • The article predicts a BNP-Jamaat coalition or unopposed Jamaat rule, leading to further radicalization and a "reversal from Bangladesh to East Pakistan," contrasting with Sheikh Hasina's previous stability.

Why It Matters: Bangladesh's interim Yunus regime allegedly uses Hindu persecution and radicalism for electoral advantage.
