Mohammad Yunus is preparing to do something new with Khaleda Zia’s party in Bangladesh, will give a shock to Sheikh Hasina, India’s concern will increase
Amid the demand for elections in Bangladesh, Mohammad Yunus is working on a plan to form a new government. It is claimed that the new government can include all parties except former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s party Awami League. Yunus plans to form a government by combining Khaleda Zia’s Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), Islamist Jamaat-e-Islami and other right-wing parties. This move can have a bad effect on the relationship between India and Bangladesh, which is already going through a period of tension. This is also a cause of concern for India because the attitude of BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami has been soft towards Pakistan and anti-India.
According to the Firstpost report, Mohammad Yunus, the head of the current interim government, is sidelining the Awami League by calling it a fascist party. It is clear that he does not want to include former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s party in the government. In such a situation, Yunus is considering forming an interim government by including political parties opposing the Awami League so that the elections can be postponed for the time being.
Yunus is attacking Sheikh Hasina
Yunus has continuously sidelined Hasina’s party. In an interview in October too, he had said that there is no place for Hasina’s fascist Awami League in Bangladesh politics. Now once again it is coming to light that Yunus is planning to form a government of anti-Awami League parties. The matter of concern for India is that the leaders of these parties have not had a positive attitude towards New Delhi. At the same time, they have been close to Pakistan.
This experiment of Yunus is being talked about at a time when there is pressure on him from political parties to hold elections. BNP wants elections in Bangladesh as soon as possible. Party leaders feel that the atmosphere is currently in their favor. Delay in elections may reduce its popularity. In such a situation, BNP leaders are repeatedly demanding elections.
Political turmoil has been going on in Bangladesh since the month of June this year. Protests against the Sheikh Hasina government started in June this year. Hasina had to leave Dhaka in a hurry in August after the protests escalated and the army withdrew. After this, the army and Hasina’s opposition parties formed an interim government under the leadership of Mohammad Yunus.
