Bangladesh Reviews Adani Contract As Court Awaits Findings

The findings by interim leader Muhammad Yunus' caretaker government in Bangladesh claim that an average of $16 billion was allegedly embezzled from the country every year during former prime minister Sheikh Hasina's tenure.

"It will show us the economy we inherited after the July-August mass uprising," said Yunus as he received the report by Debapriya Bhattacharya, the chairman of the committee, he set up to find the status of Bangladesh's economy.

"Our blood curdles to know how they plundered the economy," Yunus said in a statement.&nbsp;

"The sad part is they looted the economy openly. And most of us could not summon courage to confront it," he added.

The Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League regime was toppled in the middle of a mass uprising, which started from the Anti-Discrimination Students Movement's quota reform campaign.

After three days, Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus took the office of the interim government's head as the chief adviser.

The students-led protests soon turned into a nationwide uprising, because of which Hasina was compelled to flee the country in secrecy and seek refuge in neighbouring India.

Under the committee's scanner were large projects, focusing on seven that had individual expenditure outlays exceeding $836 million, according to a Bloomberg report.&nbsp;

"The problem is deeper than what we have thought," Bhattacharya said, adding that the 400-page white paper will show "how crony capitalism gave birth to the oligarchs, who controlled the policy framing."&nbsp;

<h2>Bangladesh will seek extradition of Sheikh Hasina from India, says Yunus</h2>

In November, Yunus, in a televised speech, said that the country will soon seek former prime minister Sheikh Hasina's extradition from India, where she has been living since her Awami League government was ousted in August 2024.

"We will ensure justice for every killing during the July-August revolution. Efforts to prosecute those responsible are progressing well, and we will demand Hasina’s return from India to hold her accountable," Yunus said.

The leader said that the interim government would conduct a trial of those responsible for the deaths of students during the Anti-Discrimination Students Movement, which ended Hasina's 15-year rule.

Bangladesh claims $16 billion siphoned every year during Sheikh Hasina's tenure: Report

Bangladeshi immigration authorities sent back 54 members of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) on Sunday (Dec. 1) from the Benapole border checkpoint despite possessing valid travel documents for their intended journey to India.

The Bangladesh police did not let them proceed further citing "suspicious travel" as the reason, as per local media reports.

Reportedly, Hindu devotees from several parts of the country, on Saturday (Nov. 30), had arrived at the land port, along the international border as they were intending to participate in a religious ceremony in India.

"We consulted the Special Branch of Police and received instructions from the higher authorities not to permit them," Benapole Immigration Checkpost Officer-in-Charge (OC) Imtiaz Ahsanul Quader Bhuiya said as per Bangladesh's Daily Star.

Bhuiya claimed that the Bangladeshi police did not permit 54 ISKCON devotees to cross into India, citing "suspicions regarding their travel purposes".

Several members of the group were also made to wait at the checkpoint since Saturday night before they were turned back on Sunday.

"We were going to participate in a religious ceremony in India, but immigration officials stopped us, citing the absence of government permission," said Saurabh Tapandar Cheli, one of the Iskcon members.

Bangladesh Government Calls ISKCON 'Fundamentalist' | BJP Protests Against Yunus Govt | World DNA

Strongly condemning the "tortures" inflicted on common people by the interim government in Bangladesh that is headed by Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus, country's former prime inister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday called for immediate release of Hindu priest Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, spokesperson of the Bangladesh Sanatan Jagaran Mancha and head of Pundarik Dham, who has been jailed in Chittagong.

"A top leader of the Sanatan religious community has been unjustly arrested, he must be released immediately," Hasina, who was forced to leave the country after the so-called 'Anti-Discrimination Student Movement' in August, said in a statement.

As the shocking development continues to invite severe backlash from Hindus all over the world, Hasina spotlighted several incidents of persecution of members of minority communities that have been reported from across 52 districts in Bangladesh since her resignation on August 5, this year.

"A temple has been burnt in Chittagong. Previously, mosques, shrines, churches, monasteries and houses of the Ahmadiyya community were attacked, vandalized and looted and set on fire. Religious freedom and security of life and property of people of all communities should be ensured," she stated.

"After the killing of innumerable Awami League leaders and workers, students and members of the law and order forces, harassment is going on through assaults and arrests. I strongly condemn and protest against these anarchist activities," Hasina added.

The Bangladesh Awami League (AL) president and daughter of the 'Father of the Nation' Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman also mentioned in her statement about the death of a 32-year-old lawyer, Saiful Islam, in Chittagong court on Tuesday during the violence that took place after the arrest and jailing of Chinmoy Krishna Das.

"A lawyer has been killed in Chittagong, I strongly protest this killing, and those involved in this murder should be found and punished quickly. Human rights have been grossly violated through this incident. A lawyer went to perform his professional duties, and those who beat him to death are terrorists."&nbsp;

"Whoever they are, must be punished. If the Yunus government, which has seized power unconstitutionally, fails to punish these terrorists, it will also face punishment for human rights violations," said Hasina.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday (Nov. 28) said that her government stands with Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Central government, following the arrest of an International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) priest in Bangladesh that has triggered tensions.

She expressed West Bengal's government's complete solidarity with the Centre over the issue. She also voiced concern over the safety of religious minorities in the neighbouring country.

Mamata Banerjee acknowledged that she talked to ISKCON in Bengal, but this matter does not lie within her jurisdiction.

Addressing the issue in the Legislative Assembly, Mamata Banerjee said, "We do not want any religion to be harmed. I have talked to ISKCON here, but this is a matter of another country, and the central government should take action on this. We stand with them on this issue."

Additionally, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor also expressed concern over the current situation with India's next-door neighbour.

"TMC doesn't give any statement on any international issue or that relating to the Ministry of External Affairs. We will support the stand of the Government of India," he said.

The situation between the Bangladesh government and ISKCON continues to worsen since the arrest of ISKCON Bangladesh priest, Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, over sedition charges, which has led to protests and unrest in Bangladesh.

Following the priest's arrest, a petition was filed by a lawyer demanding a ban on ISKCON in Bangladesh, calling it a "radical organization" engaging in activities designed to provoke communal unrest, as reported by the local media. The petition sparked another political row in Bangladesh.

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) also expressed "deep concern" and called on the Bangladeshi government to ensure the safety and security of Hindus.

Bangladeshi Hindu religious leader Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari was denied bail by a court on Tuesday (Nov 26) and the sedition case filed against him was upheld as tensions escalated over rights of minorities in the country. The monk, who had earlier led protests for Hindu minorities in Bangladesh, was arrested by the Detective Branch of the Dhaka Police at Dhaka airport on November 25. The monk was stopped from leaving the country and taken to an undisclosed location by the authorities. In the wake of the monk's arrest, massive protests were held in different parts of the country and several people suffered injuries. ISKCON appeals India to intervene, MEA condemns arrest The temple authorities of ISKCON have appealed to the Indian government to intervene in the issue and speak to Bangladesh for the release of the monk. Also Read: Bangladesh police detain ISKCON leader Krishna Das at Dhaka airport: Report The temple authorities further asked the government of Bangladesh to release their leader immediately. They strongly denied allegations of any kind of involvement in the terrorist activities. In a post on X, ISKCON stated, “We have come across disturbing reports that Sri Chinmoy Krishna Das, one of the prominent leaders of ISKCON Bangladesh, has been detained by the Dhaka police. It is outrageous to make baseless allegations that ISKCON has anything to do with terrorism anywhere in the world." Calling itself a “peace-loving Bhakti movement”, ISKCON appealed to the government of India to take immediate steps on the issue. “ISKCON, Inc. urges the Government of India to take immediate steps and speak to the Government of Bangladesh and convey that we are a peace-loving Bhakti movement,” read the post. India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) strongly condemned the arrest of the monk in Bangladesh and appealed authorities to ensure the safety of Hindus. In an official statement, the MEA said, "We urge Bangladesh authorities to ensure the safety and security of Hindus and all minorities, including their right of freedom of peaceful assembly and expression. There are several documented cases of arson and looting of minorities’ homes and business establishments, as well as theft and vandalism and desecration of deities and temples."
