Violence Has Erupted Across Bangladesh As Supporters Of Ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Take To The Streets, Demanding Her Return From India. Police Have Fired Tear Gas And Rubber Bullets To Disperse Demonstrators, While Clashes In Gopalganj Reportedly Left A Police Vehicle Torched. In Faridpur, A 60-Year-Old Bus Driver Died After His Vehicle Was Set On Fire. Protesters Also Blocked Roads And Briefly Disrupted Traffic On The Padma Bridge. The Protests Began After Hasina Revealed That She Had Requested A New Passport And Identity Documents To Facilitate Her Return To Bangladesh In December. Hasina Fled To India In August 2024 After A Student-Led Uprising Ended Her 15-Year Rule. Her Potential Return Has Now Reignited Political Tensions, With Bangladesh's Government Seeking Her Extradition From India. Can Hasina Return? Will The Protests Escalate Further? And What Does This Mean For Bangladesh's Political Future?

A political storm has erupted over AISA leader Neha Bora's remarks praising Bangladesh's Gen-Z movement. In an interview, Bora said the student-led movement had shown young activists in India a way forward. BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari has accused Bora of making an “open admission of regime change” and called her Rahul Gandhi's “poster girl”. The BJP has linked her remarks to the opposition's political agenda. The controversy has intensified after Rahul Gandhi marched alongside Bora and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra during an opposition protest in New Delhi. Bora also attended an INDIA bloc meeting at Gandhi's residence.
