How Yunus regime has allowed Islamists to exploit Hadi’s death to target India

Bangladesh is witnessing a dangerous escalation of political violence following the killing of Osman Hadi, a controversial youth leader. His provocative rhetoric and death have been exploited by Islamist forces, particularly Jamaat-e-Islami and the National Citizen Party, to mobilise support and polarise society. Anti-Hindu violence and anti-India rhetoric have intensified, with mobs targeting minorities, media institutions, and diplomatic missions. Mainstream parties like the BNP are also echoing extremist language to remain politically relevant. With elections approaching, violence and radicalisation are shaping the political landscape, undermining democratic institutions and minority rights, and normalising extremism as a tool for political gain.
