Radical Pressure Shakes Yunus Govt: Key Minister Resigns in Bangladesh

• Khoda Baksh Chowdhury, Minister of State for Home Affairs equivalent, resigned from Bangladesh's Yunus-led interim government.
• The resignation is widely seen as a concession to radical pressure following escalating demands for accountability in the Sharif Osman Hadi case.
• This marks the fourth resignation from the advisory council, with three other advisers having exited earlier in 2025.
• Hardline groups, including Inqilab Moncha, issued ultimatums, accusing the home adviser of shielding perpetrators.
• The interim government is perceived as increasingly responsive to ultimatums, raising concerns about its stability and legitimacy ahead of elections.

Why It Matters: Yunus' interim government faces growing instability and radical pressure, leading to key resignations and questions about its authority.
