Sheikh Hasina had banned the Jamaat-e-Islami party last month for stoking violence through the student-led protests that culminated in her ouster. Jamaat was effectively banned from contesting elections by a 2013 court decision that revoked its registration as a political party.
Rehman stated that Jamaat-e-Islami desires India to be a “friend and play a responsible role in bilateral ties,” while also emphasising that his party acknowledges its responsibility to improve relations but insists that these ties must remain “non-interfering in each other’s internal issues.”
Jatiya Party chairman has criticised those who attribute Bangladesh's flood situation to India, calling it a misleading narrative. He argues that this perspective unfairly leverages existing anti-India sentiments to place unjust blame on New Delhi for a natural disaster.
Following the collapse of the Sheikh Hasina government in Bangladesh, Hindus and Muslims united to protect the historic Dhakeswari Temple in Dhaka amid political turmoil. The community's efforts ensured the temple's safety despite the lack of police protection.
The latest order from the Yunus government came days after Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) General Secretary Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir called for Hasina's extradition, insisting that she should face trial in her home country.
The case involved the 'indiscriminate firing' of police on a 2013 rally organised by the Hefazat-e-Islam, resulting in over 30 deaths. Sheikh Hasina, who is already facing mass murder charges in the case, has been booked under multiple cases since her departure from Bangladesh on Aug 5.
The BNP, led by recently freed Khaleda Zia and a fierce opponent of Hasina's Awami League, said her "fascist rule" ruined Bangladesh's independence. Hasina faces several criminal charges back home, including mass murder in 2013.
The Congress leader was referring to the mob attack on Prime Minister's Palace in Bangladesh in which Sheikh Hasina had to flee the country after violent students' protests.
The application accused them of the "mass murder" during the rally at Shapla Chattar in Motijheel on May 5, 2013. The court recorded the plaintiff's statement and said it would pass an order on the issue later.
Sheikh Hasina, who resigned and fled to India on August 5, was slapped with a murder case on Tuesday and a case of enforced disappearance on Wednesday. Her extended stay in India has reportedly threatened to put a strain between India and the interim government in Bangladesh.
This marks the first conversation between PM Modi and Muhammad Yunus, the Chief Adviser of Bangladesh's interim government, after the recent unrest that led to Sheikh Hasina's ouster. The Indian PM had earlier expressed concern over rise in attacks on Bangladeshi Hindus since Hasina's departure.
The diplomats, stationed in key nations including the US, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Germany, UAE, and the Maldives, have been ordered to return to Dhaka immediately. This move is part of broader administrative changes initiated since the interim government took charge on August 8.
India's number one and most followed Super Prime Time News Show, ‘Aaj Ki Baat-Rajat Sharma Ke Saath' was launched just before the 2014 general elections.
Bangladesh's foreign affairs adviser said Hasina's remarks were conducive for fostering better bilateral relations with India. Hasina on Tuesday demanded "justice" for the recent unrest, saying those involved in "terror acts", killings and vandalism must be identified and punished.
Sheikh Hasina and several former members of her cabinet are accused of kidnapping and torturing a Supreme Court lawyer in 2015. This is the second charge against her after a murder case was filed against the deposed PM on Tuesday.
Within a week of unseating Bangladesh’s longest-serving prime minister, the students who drove out Sheikh Hasina were still directing Dhaka’s traffic. The question now is what comes next in a country still reeling from the violence surrounding her removal that left hundreds dead.
The United States Department of State firmly dismissed the allegations regarding the US government's role in former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation, calling them 'laughable' and 'absolutely false.'
August 15 is remembered as National Mourning Day, marking Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's assassination in 1975. As the protests engulfed the country, an enraged mob set fire to a museum dedicated to Bangabandhu, where Rahman was killed along with his family.
Sheikh Hasina was ousted from power and Bangladesh in a massive students' protest this month. She has issued her first statement in days after fleeing her homeland.
The Indian Visa Application Centre in Dhaka announced the closure of all visa centres in the country until further notice due to an "unstable situation" in the wake of Sheikh Hasina's ouster. Over 500 people were killed in the protests that began last month over a controversial job quota system.
