Bangladesh: South Asia's next 'bloody battlefield'?

Baidya Bikash Basu | July 7, 2025 9:55 PM

New Delhi: Since 5th August 2024, when former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was ousted, extremist Islamist groups like Hizb ut-Tahrir (HuT) have been freely carrying out terrorist activities in Bangladesh under Muhammad Yunus-led interim government. Under the banner of 'Tawhidi Janata,' a reign of terror by mobs has been established across Bangladesh. The fear of terrorism is further intensifying as Jama'at-e-Islami (JeI) and Jihadi students plan to form an armed militia under the banner of the 'Islamic Revolutionary Army'. This not only threatens Bangladesh's stability, but also the security of neighbouring India and the larger South Asian region.
