AB Party leader Asaduzzaman Fuad has claimed that no previous government in Bangladesh has enjoyed such widespread public support. “In my view, after the government led by Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman, Dr. Muhammad Yunus’s interim government will be the most successful,” he said.

A digital signboard at the Ramkrishnapur Paschimpara Mosque in Natore displayed the slogan “Joy Bangla,” sparking controversy. According to eyewitnesses, the signboard also showed a message reading, “Bangla is my pride; anyone who looks at Bangla will have their eyes gouged out.”

Upon noticing the message, locals quickly removed the signboard. The incident has caused panic, especially as it comes just two days after the ruling party fired shots at BNP supporters and ordinary worshippers on Eid day.

Bazlur Rahman, a freedom fighter and president of the mosque committee, stated that it is still unclear how this incident occurred.

BNP leader Sultan Salahuddin Tuku has warned that if the interim government fails, the sacrifices of the martyrs will be in vain. Speaking at a public gathering, he stated that fair elections are the demand of the entire nation, as people were deprived of voting in 2014, 2018, and 2024. Despite the addition of nearly 36 million new voters, their democratic rights remain unfulfilled. Tuku emphasized that the people of Bangladesh have fought for their right to vote, and the government must fulfill their democratic aspirations. He reiterated BNP’s demand for an immediate election roadmap, stating that his party is cooperating with the government in this process. “This government was established through student and public movements. If it fails, the sacrifices of our martyrs will be wasted,” he added, vowing to resist fascist conspiracies through unity.

If the allegations are found to be true, he pledged to urge the government to take appropriate action against the officer.

A violent altercation between two factions of the BNP left at least 10 people injured in Kaina village, Bauphal, Patuakhali. The conflict erupted over a music event organized near a local mosque. The incident occurred when Sohrab Mridha, Yusuf Mridha, and Nasir Mridha got into a heated argument with event organizer Chunnu Mridha.

When local residents attempted to intervene, they too were assaulted. Both factions are affiliated with the BNP.

The Bangladeshi authorities have never contacted me, but I am waiting to hear from them.” Last month, Chief Adviser Dr. Yunus told Sky News that Tulip Siddiq had left assets in Bangladesh and should be held accountable for them.

On Wednesday evening, the residences of two Awami League leaders in Sylhet—former City Mayor Anwaruzzaman Chowdhury and former MP Shafiul Alam Chowdhury Nadel—were attacked and vandalized. Earlier that day, the banned Chhatra League held a sudden protest march in the city, which may have triggered the incidents.

According to a Politico report, former U.S. President Donald Trump has informed his close allies and Cabinet members that Elon Musk will step down from his federal government role in the coming weeks. Musk has been serving as the head of an open office in Trump’s administration, tasked with reducing government spending. However, he is now expected to return to his business ventures while continuing to offer advisory support to the government. While Trump has been pleased with Musk’s contributions, both reportedly agreed that the time for Musk’s exit had arrived. Speculation suggests that Musk may continue to serve as an advisor to Trump after he leaves office.

BNP Vice Chairman Ahmed Azam Khan stated that Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus endured persecution similar to BNP members. “During the fascist era, 600,000 BNP leaders and activists were subjected to false charges and harassment. Dr. Yunus also faced hundreds of fabricated cases and was oppressed at every step,” he claimed. He emphasized that BNP stood by Yunus during his struggles. Now that he holds office, he must fulfill his promise of leading Bangladesh toward prosperity and ensuring free elections. Khan further announced that BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia will return to Bangladesh soon, followed by Tarique Rahman, and that the entire nation is eagerly awaiting their arrival.
