Sheikh Hasina says Tarique Rahman’s return after 17 years risks deepening polarisation as Bangladesh heads into elections amid minority violence and growing instability.

Bangladesh’s Awami League has rejected the February 2026 election schedule, calling it illegal and warning that polls without the party will deepen the national crisis.

Sheikh Hasina calls for national unity, accusing Muhammad Yunus of destabilizing Bangladesh and enabling extremism, as concerns grow over disappearances and human rights violations.

Prominent UK lawyers say Tulip Siddiq’s trial in Bangladesh is “contrived and unfair,” citing intimidation, lack of due process, and political motivation.

The Awami League has announced nationwide protests and strikes demanding interim leader Dr. Muhammad Yunus’s resignation, escalating Bangladesh’s political confrontation.
