Bangladesh Erupts: Extremists Storm Parliament, Hindu Youth Lynched; India on High Alert
- •Thousands attending Sharif Usman Hadi's funeral stormed the Bangladesh Parliament, engaging in extensive vandalism and looting.
- •Interim government head Muhammad Yunus's speech, praising Hadi, is believed to have emboldened the extremists.
- •The Yunus government is accused of giving a "free hand" to rioters, with no police/army intervention for two hours, possibly to postpone elections and empower Jamaat-e-Islami.
- •A 25-year-old Hindu youth, Dipu Chandra Das, was brutally murdered in Mymensingh on false blasphemy charges; 7 suspects arrested by RAB.
- •India is on high alert, with its army monitoring the border after extremist marches and tensions in Chittagong; Lieutenant General R. C. Tiwari visited the border.
Why It Matters: Bangladesh faces severe anarchy, extremist violence, and minority persecution, prompting India's high alert.
