[VIDEOS] Bangladesh army chief confirms PM Hasina’s resignation [Update at Post#189]

[sweep_shot]

Anyone who supports Hasina in Bangladesh should be jailed.

Hasina was BD's Hitler and an Indian puppet. It should be a criminal offense to support her.

Hopefully Dr. Yunus will implement something like that.

Bharat will not send her back unless there’s guarantee from the Bangladesh military for full security for her. We all know this. Going to jail after going through a fair trial is another thing. That’s Bangladesh’s call and we have no interest in it. But we will not let you execute a secular leader under our watch.

 

[ishtiaq_ctg]

We have a Hasina's man here. Do you need a tissue paper?

There was a reason why Hasina was made to flee like a dog. Bangladeshi people rejected Hasina except for a few bootlickers like you.

Bangladesh should ban Awami League. Evil party with evil supporters

Anyone who supports Hasina in Bangladesh should be jailed.

Hasina was BD's Hitler and an Indian puppet. It should be a criminal offense to support her.

Hopefully Dr. Yunus will implement something like that. guys cried for democracy for the last 16 years

People like you cried for supposed democracy for the last 16 years & now want even an ordinary awami supporter to be jailed. This is what Hasina had to deal with for the last 16 years: a force that is desperate to exterminate Awami league and with it our bengali history & identity.
She'll again come back InshAllah to finish what she started. Make the nation a developed country by 2041.
P.S. Lol at the thought of Puppet Yunus banning Awami League. He'll flee by the end of this year.

You are finished. Your party is finished. In sha Allah.

If you are one of the corrupt ones, I hope they will get you too.

Your party is over. Deal with it.

If she returns, she has a high chance of getting hanged (and rightly so).

How is his party finished when this is what Wikipedia says:




They may not be in power now and who knows may come again in future. That is the essence of democracy. However, you are advocating jailing anyone that supports that party including @ishtiaq_ctg ?

Wow...how telling.

 

[sweep_shot]

All Awami League supporters should lose their Bangladeshi citizenships. They are enemies of Bangladesh.

Post #563 made me laugh so hard. This guy lives under a rock or something. People of Bangladesh don't want Hasina. They demonstrated that in August of 2024.

Hope she returns bro. Bangladesh was a thriving democracy under her reign and was developing rapidly even at a greater pace than India. She was also pushing for Bengali first narrative which I greatly admire her for. Bangladesh must be for Bengalis. Now these Islamists have taken over Bangladesh is making it another Pakistan. Just look at the mindless attack on Hindus. All the good work done by Haseena is going down the drain. Nevertheless, your leader is safe and secured in India. With Trump in power now, India will play its cards very soon and topple the current BD regime, just wait.

CA Yunus off to China, eyeing to take Dhaka-Beijing ties to new height​

He will hold bilateral talks with President Xi in Beijing on March 28

Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus on Wednesday left for China on a four-day official visit through which Dr Yunus thinks the relationship between Bangladesh and China would further be deepened.

A special China Southern flight carrying the chief adviser and his entourage left Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at 1pm.

Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain, Power, Energy and Mineral Resources; Road Transport and Bridges; and Railways Adviser Muhammad Fouzul Kabir Khan, High Representative to Chief Adviser Khalilur Rahman, Principal Coordinator on SDGs Affairs and Senior Secretary Lamiya Morshed and CA's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam are accompanying the chief adviser.

Bangladesh Ambassador to China Md Nazmul Islam and Vice Governor of Hainan Province will receive the Chief Adviser upon his arrival at Qionghai Bo'ao International Airport at around 7pm, a senior official told UNB.

"I will meet with President Xi Jinping. I will also meet with CEOs of major Chinese businesses," Dr Yunus said ahead of the visit.

The bilateral meeting will be held at the Great Hall of China on March 28.

Addressing the nation on Tuesday evening, Dr Yunus said the world's largest Chinese solar panel manufacturer Longji has expressed interest in setting up a factory in Bangladesh.

"We are working with them. In addition, technical assistance, medical assistance, low-cost treatment and other issues will be discussed," he said, adding that they (China) want to import mangoes, jackfruit and guava from Bangladesh. "This will start very soon."

Bangladesh and China are set to sign several agreements and Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) as Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus and Chinese President Xi Jinping prepare to hold a bilateral meeting in Beijing on March 28.

The bilateral cooperation documents are likely to be signed in the areas of human resource development, economic and technical assistance, cultural and sports cooperation and cooperation between the media.

Besides, announcements related to economy, investment and economic zones are likely to be made, said Foreign Secretary Md Jashim Uddin.

The two leaders will discuss various strategic bilateral issues between Bangladesh and China, trade and investment promotion, cooperation in agriculture, infrastructure, renewable energy sectors, and resolving the Rohingya issue, among other matters of mutual interest between the two countries, said the Foreign Secretary.

The foreign secretary said China is Bangladesh's best friend, closest neighbour, strategic partner and one of the largest commercial and development partners.

Bangladesh and China enjoy excellent diplomatic relations, which are deepening, he said, adding that this year the two countries have undertaken programs to celebrate the 50 years of China-Bangladesh diplomatic relations.

The foreign secretary said the visit would add a new dimension in Dhaka-Beijing relations with further momentum.

The chief adviser will attend roundtable discussions on Sustainable Infrastructure and Energy Investment; Bangladesh 2.0 Manufacturing and Market Opportunities; Social Business, Youth Entrepreneurship and the World of Three Zeros.

Chinese Ambassador to Bangladesh Yao Wen on Sunday said Chief Adviser Prof Mohammad Yunus’ visit to China would be "very successful, productive and a milestone visit" with some announcements.

Dr Yunus' scheduled visit to China from March 26-29 is going to be the “most important visit” by a Bangladesh leader over the last 50 years, as the two countries are eyeing to take the relations to a new height.

“This is going to be the most important visit by a Bangladeshi leader in 50 years,” said Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam, quoting Chinese Ambassador to Bangladesh Yao Wen who met Dr Yunus on March 16.

Alam said a big focus will be given on relocation of Chinese factories to Bangladesh to make the country a manufacturing hub.

"We want to create a revolution in the manufacturing sector," said the press secretary, adding that it helps create more jobs and boost exports from Bangladesh to the global market.

He said there will be a series of engagements during the chief adviser's China visit.

On the sidelines of the forum, Alam said, the chief adviser is likely to have meetings with CEOs of some companies.

Dhaka and Beijing are eyeing stronger ties, marking the 50th anniversary of Bangladesh-China diplomatic relations.

The chief adviser will attend a programme on March 29 at Peking University and will return to Dhaka at night (same day).

As per the plans, the chief adviser will first attend the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) Annual Conference 2025 in Boao, South China's Hainan Province.

On March 27, Dr Yunus will participate in the inaugural plenary session of the BFA and Executive Vice President of the State Council will meet the Chief Adviser the same day.

On August 25 last year, Chinese Ambassador to Bangladesh Yao Wen conveyed the Chinese leadership's invitation to Dr Yunus to visit China at his convenience.

“China and Bangladesh are best friends and trustworthy partners. So, whatever change is taking place internationally or domestically in Bangladesh, our policy remains steadfast,” Ambassador Yao said recently, adding that no matter who forms the government China wants to be their partner and their policy is not related to any particular government.

He said they believe their cooperation is for the benefit of all the Bangladeshi people and the people of China as well.

BFA Secretary General Zhang Jun said with the theme "Asia in the changing World: Towards a shared Future," this year's event will focus on development, foster dialogue, explore innovative formats and value tangible outcomes, all aimed at promoting international development and cooperation.

He said the theme is intended to reinvigorate multilateralism, promote openness and development, jointly respond to global challenges, and carry out the commitments of the UN Summit of the Future while focusing on the development of Asia.

Many heads of international and regional organisations, ministerial-level officials, entrepreneurs of Fortune Global 500, and renowned experts and scholars have already confirmed their participation in the annual conference, Zhang said.

He said the event will focus on four subject areas: building trust and promoting cooperation in a fast-changing world; rebalancing globalisation for inclusive development; accelerating the Sustainable Development Goals for more effective responses to global challenges; and strengthening AI application and governance for innovation-driven development.

 

[Rajdeep]

Dr. Yunus should continue to do his good works. People of Bangladesh (minus a few traitors) are with him. Military of Bangladesh is with him too (minus a handful of Hasina's agents who need to be identified and neutralized).

Lol....how did you come to that conclusion? Let the election happen.

Also, you are showing you extremist barbaric mindset by asking to shoot down anyone that supports another political party. You are the lowest scumbag creature I have ever come across. All these after shedding crocodile tears from Palestanians and Indian muslims. LMAO

 

[Red-Indian]

Hope she returns bro. Bangladesh was a thriving democracy under her reign and was developing rapidly even at a greater pace than India. She was also pushing for Bengali first narrative which I greatly admire her for. Bangladesh must be for Bengalis. Now these Islamists have taken over Bangladesh is making it another Pakistan.

Was speaking to a Bangladeshi colleague on a trip to the States last month.

I should say that he's no a supporter of Haseena. He thought of her as a dictator and said that she hadn't won a valid election in more than 10 years.

However, he was pretty worried about the future of Bangladesh and that it was quietly slipping into a military dictatorship backed by religious extremists. Yunus himself is a 85 year puppet. Elections are not on the distant horizon...the authorities keep making vague assertions of needing to reform a lot of things before they can allow an election. No indication of why a democratically elected leader cannot make these fixes. There's also a sharp turn towards China which only exacerbates the chances of a military dictatorship. Traditionally China couldn't care less about Democracy and might actually prefer dealing with an authoritarian government.

China for deeper cooperation with Bangladesh as Xi, Yunus meet in Beijing​

Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday said China would give a positive consideration to a host of important issues raised by Bangladesh as he held bilateral talks with Bangladesh delegation led by Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus.

They included reduction of the interest rates on Chinese loans and cooperation on water resources management, Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam told UNB, describing the talks between President Xi and Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus as a ‘hugely successful’ bilateral meeting.

Alam said the talks were ‘comprehensive, fruitful and constructive, marked by warmth’.

President Xi reiterated China’s support to the Chief Adviser and the interim government, said the Press Secretary.

‘It was Prof Yunus’s first bilateral foreign tour, and so far, it has been a “grand” success,’ Alam said.

President Xi said China would encourage Chinese investment to Bangladesh and relocation of Chinese manufacturing enterprises to Bangladesh.

President Xi spoke about his two tours to Bangladesh and said he studied microcredit when he was the governor of Fujian province, Alam said.

The Chinese President also said he tried Bangladeshi mangoes and jackfruit.

‘They are delicious. Bangladesh is expected to export the two fruits to China in a big way in the coming months,’ Alam quoted President Xi as saying.

Dr Yunus and Chinese President Xi held bilateral talks at People’s Great Hall and discussed bilateral, regional and global issues.

They discussed ways to further strengthen the relations between the two countries and take it to a new height protecting Dhaka-Beijing’s mutual and strategic interests.

Both sides discussed various strategic bilateral issues between Bangladesh and China, trade and investment growth, agriculture, infrastructure, support for renewable energy sectors, and resolving the Rohingya issue, as well as overall issues of mutual interest between the two countries, eyeing a new chapter in relations.

At the meeting, Dr Yunus sought China’s greater role in establishing peace, prosperity and stability for both nations.

During the meeting, Dr Yunus expressed heartfelt greetings to Chinese President Xi Jinping on behalf of Bangladesh and its people.

Recalling his long relations with China, the Chief Adviser said he had an attachment with China in introducing Grameen Bank and social business there.

During the meeting, he focused on Rohingya crisis, seeking China’s strong role in safe and dignified return of Rohingyas to their home of origin in Myanmar.

Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain, Power, Energy and Mineral Resources; Road Transport and Bridges; and Railways Adviser Muhammad Fouzul Kabir Khan, Principal Coordinator on SDGs Affairs and Senior Secretary Lamiya Morshed, High Representative to Chief Adviser Khalilur Rahman, Bangladesh Ambassador to China Md Nazmul Islam and BIDA Executive Chairman Chowdhury Ashik accompanied the Chief Adviser at the meeting, Chief Adviser’s Deputy Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad Majumder told UNB.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, Chinese Ambassador to Bangladesh Yao Wen among others were part of the Chinese delegation.

In the morning, Dr Yunus arrived at the Great Hall of China amid a static guard of honour.

Dr Yunus arrived in Beijing on Thursday night to hold bilateral talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Vice Minister of China Sun Weidong warmly welcomed Dr Yunus upon his arrival at Beijing International Airport at around 10:20pm (China time) after approximately a four-hour journey by air from Qionghai Bo’ao International Airport. Kids also greeted him with flowers.

The Chief Adviser spoke at the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference and joined at least eight events, including bilateral meetings, Azad said.

Dr Yunus is on a four-day visit to China through which he thinks the relationship between Bangladesh and China would further be deepened.

The Chief Adviser will participate in three roundtable discussions on different themes – Sustainable Infrastructure and Energy Investment, Bangladesh 2.0 Manufacturing and Market Opportunities and Social Business, Youth Entrepreneurship and the World of Three Zeros at the same venue, where he will exchange views with CEOs of various companies, experienced individuals from the Social Business Circle, high-ranking officials of renowned Chinese companies, business representatives and the young generation of Bangladeshis and Chinese.

On Saturday morning, the Chief Adviser will visit Peking University and receive the Honorary Doctorate.

After receiving the Honorary Doctorate Degree, the Chief Adviser will deliver a speech to the audience.

In the afternoon, Dr Yunus will give an exclusive interview to China Media Group (CMG), a renowned Chinese media organisation, and Xinhua (likely) where various aspects of the multidimensional relations between Bangladesh and China and the future direction of Bangladesh’s position on various contemporary international issues will be shared.

Trump keen to boost US-Bangladesh relations​

US President Donald Trump, in a message to Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus, expressed confidence in advancing bilateral relations between the two nations and promoting regional security in the Indo-Pacific.

In his message, Trump extended greetings to Yunus and the people of Bangladesh on the occasion of Independence Day (March 26), according to the chief adviser's office.

"This period of transition [in Bangladesh] presents an opportunity for the people of Bangladesh to strengthen democracy, drive economic progress, and enhance security," Trump said, adding that the US looks forward to continuing its partnership in this decisive year.

"I am confident that we can advance our bilateral economic development while we strengthen our relationship and work together on promoting regional security in the Indo-Pacific," he said.

Earlier on Wednesday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also greeted the people of Bangladesh on the occasion of Independence Day.

In a statement issued by the US Department of State, he highlighted the significance of this year's celebration as Bangladesh prepares for its upcoming national election.

"This celebration comes at a pivotal point in Bangladesh's history, as the Interim Government prepares the nation for elections that will allow the people of Bangladesh to choose the path forward for their nation," Rubio said.

He emphasised the US's support for Bangladesh's journey towards a bright and democratic future, expressing eagerness to continue the partnership in promoting economic development and regional security in the Indo-Pacific region.

Ever since Hasina fleed Bangladesh like a dog, remittance level has been rising. People are feeling more confident with sending money in Bangladesh. Great to see.

===============================

​

Remittances near $3b mark, set new record before Eid​

Remittances have reached a record high ahead of Eid, with inflows totaling USD 2.94 billion in the first 26 days of March. Of the amount, USD 197 million was received in the last two days alone.

With four days remaining in the month, the figure is expected to surpass the threshold of USD 3 billion, setting a new milestone. According to Bangladesh Bank, the country received USD 2.52 billion in remittances in the previous month, February, averaging USD 113.2 million per day.

The nation is set to celebrate the first Eid after the ouster of the Awami League regime through a mass uprising in August last year. Inward remittance has now been higher than ever before. According to bankers, expatriates are preferring formal channels while sending money home due to declined money laundering.

The bank officials also said the longstanding dollar crisis in banks has eased due to the rise in remittances, and the exchange rate has become stable. The banks are now purchasing remittances at a maximum rate of Tk 123 per USD, as set by the central bank.

Remittance flow in March​

According to Bangladesh Bank data, remittances stood at USD 1.66 billion in the first 15 days of March. After four days on 19 March, the total reached USD 2.25 billion, with USD 130 million received on the final day alone.

The amount rose to USD 2.43 billion by 22 March, to USD 2.70 billion on 24 March, and USD 2.94 billion on 26 March. The daily average inflow was USD 110 million in the first week and USD 120 million in the second week.

Usually, remittances peak before Eid. An amount of USD 450 million was sent in the five days leading up to Eid-ul-Fitr last year, averaging USD 90 million per day. The trend suggests that remittance inflows could further increase in the next few days.

Bangladesh thrived under Hasina, which becomes apparant if one looks at all the socio-economic metrices. I thank her for all the things she did for the nation, from infrastructure development to social safety programs, to make it a better place.

Are you denying the evil tyrant didnt kill thousands of students and common man and woman, even children, in the July24 protest?

Are you going to deny the ‘house of mirrors’ aka Aynaghor? which dictator Hasina built underground cells to punish anyone speaking against her, any opposition, anyone she wants to silence. Even indigenous prominent Chakma people got kidnapped into the secret cells for nothing. Evil tyrant Sheikh Hasina, spared no one.



You said Hasina did this and that. Hasina did what? Like as if it came from her kandaans own funding? Any work done under any PM is from the wealth of the country itself, made by hard working people, tax payers money. Nothing is done free. Tyrant didnt kill thousands bare minimum and looted 90-100billion.

Many Indian posters seem to be giving haha reactions in rage.

Their little agent (Hasina Begum) is no more. They are furious I guess. They can no longer rip off Bangladesh like they used to with the help of Hasina.

Anyway, here is Dr. Yunus meeting up with Chinese Xi Jinping:

Bangladesh friendship Zindabad. China is a true friend and developing partner of Bangladesh.

Now that that previous dictator is gone. BD needs deeper cooperations with China and Pakistan. Strategically too.

Dr Mohammad Yunus the nobel laureate, highly educated wise man speaks so well, with great English too, unlike the Chai wala next door. Dr Yunus the right man to lead Bangladesh for many years. Am wishing he stays in charge of BD as long as possible.

This is the final nail in the coffin for the converts for Bangladesh, sell out to the Chinese.

Cry me a river….

We love to see Hindustanis cry over the puppet H.r.z.d.i dictator Hasina no longer to serve them, her indian masters. Aww. Too bad. Godi media going crazy with the propagandas. LOL

All Awami League supporters should lose their Bangladeshi citizenships. They are enemies of Bangladesh.

Are you denying the evil tyrant didnt kill thousands of students and common man and woman, even children, in the July24 protest?

July protest, from the onset, was a plot to oust the government and take the nation towards a path of anarchy & terrorism. In hindsight, Hasina was fighting for the greater good of the nation.
As soon as she left, our country went into a chaotic state and to this day, we have zero law & order with businesses closing down every day. Garment workers have been deprived of their Eid bonuses & salaries due to garments not being able to function properly. Almost all the mega projects have been discarded along with massive decline in exports. Adding to all of these woes is the menace of extremism.

Aynaghor, money laundering in billions by Hasina from the nation are all cock & bull story. I feel sad and angry that my peaceful country, which left behind Pakistan in socio-economic development and was on path to repeat the same with India, is in the verge of becoming the next failed project.

I think you are being a little over ambitious with the on path of India statement.

But yes I do agree Bangladesh is on its way to becoming Pakistan part 2.

Bangladesh was ahead of India in many socio-economic parameters. You can check for yourself. We were on route to become a trillion dollar economy by 2030. What a downfall in mere 7 months!

Bangladesh is lucky Bharat is a pragmatic nation and not one that keeps deep grudges. I think as soon as the political situation improves and the anti hindu attack stories stop coming, they will try to get back to discussions to improve trade relations for mutual benefit. It’s easy to sit back at home and call for business ties cut off but you have to realize Bangladesh and the bordering state Bengal both need economic progress which is heavily tied to good relations tween both nations. Good and visionary governments swallow bitter pills like these.

If Bangladesh is unable to control its Islamist politics problem however, there will continue to be pressure on GOI to do much with an uncooperative regime.

If they wanna go the China way, good luck to them. We have seen what China dependent nations have gone through. Bangladesh has a lot more to benefit from good relations from an economic pov, from our side the benefits of such a relationship are more important from national security pov, and less economic.

Bangladesh isnt trying to pick a fight with IND or any other country. All they did was change the government like any other democratic country would do. Generally speaking, BD political system is really bad and dirty. Gen Z realized that and had enough of oldies running the show forever.

Bangladesh secures a commitment of $2.1 billion in investments, loans and grants from China

BEIJING, March 28: Bangladesh has secured a commitment of $2.1 billion in Chinese investments, loans and grants from the Chinese government and its companies during the "milestone" visit of Chief Professor Muhammad Yunus to China, officials said.

Bangladeshi officials and Chinese ambassador to Dhaka Yao Wen said nearly 30 Chinese companies have pledged to invest one billion dollars in the exclusive Chinese Industrial Economic Zone after the Chief Adviser urged private enterprises to invest in the manufacturing sector in Bangladesh.

China has also planned to lend some $400 million in the Mongla port modernisation project, some $350 million in the development of the China Industrial Economic Zone and another $150 million as technical assistance. The rest of the amount would come as grants and other forms of lending.

"It is a milestone visit," Chinese envoy Yao Wen said, referring to the Chief Adviser's four-day-long first bilateral tour to China.

Ashik Chowdhury, the Executive Chairman of the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority and Bangladesh Economic Zone Authority, said the visit could propel a "surge" of Chinese investment to Bangladesh.

During the bilateral meeting, Professor Yunus has requested President Xi Jinping to give his "green signal" to Chinese private companies to invest in Bangladesh.

President Xi affirmed that he would encourage Chinese firms to relocate their manufacturing plants to Bangladesh as they look to diversify their production destination, said Chowdhury.

"This visit will play a big part in persuading many Chinese companies to invest in Bangladesh. It is just a matter of time," he said.

On Friday, Professor Yunus and Ashik Chowdhury briefed officials of more than 100 Chinese companies, including some of the biggest in the world, to invest in manufacturing in Bangladesh, especially in advanced textiles, pharmaceuticals, light engineering and renewables. They spoke in three interactive sessions in Beijing.

"So far, the response is very positive," he said.

Trump, Putin affirm stronger ties with Bangladesh​

US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have extended greetings to Bangladesh on the occasion of its Independence Day, reaffirming their commitment to strengthening bilateral ties and cooperation.

The leaders acknowledged Bangladesh’s progress since its independence in 1971 and expressed their hopes for continued strong relations with the South Asian nation.

Donald Trump has said Washington is confident of advancing bilateral economic development with Bangladesh, while working together on promoting security in the Indo-Pacific.

Trump made the remark in a message to Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus, where he greeted the interim government head and the people of Bangladesh on the occasion of Bangladesh Independence Day.

The US president expressed high hopes for the current post-dictatorship transitional phase in Bangladesh. The transition gives Bangladesh a chance "to build capacity for democracy, economic progress, and enhanced security," he said.

"The United States looks forward to continuing our partnership in this coming decisive year," he wrote.

"On the occasion of this Independence Day celebration, please accept my sincere best wishes to you and the people of Bangladesh," he said in his concluding remarks.

Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin has said Bangladesh-Russia relations are based on well-established traditions of friendship and mutual respect.

"I am confident that they will continue to develop in a productive manner for the benefits of our peoples, and in the interests of strengthening regional security and stability," he said in a message to President Mohammed Shahabuddin.

President Putin wished his Bangladesh counterpart sound health and success, as well as peace and prosperity to all citizens of Bangladesh, according to the Russian Embassy in Dhaka.

Chinese airlines to operate Chittagong-Kunming flights to help Bangladeshi people access Chinese healthcare

BEIJING, March 29: China Eastern Airlines has planned to operate flights from Bangladesh's port city of Chittagong to Kunming to help people from the country's east to take treatment in hospitals in the southern Chinese city, officials said Saturday.
China has dedicated four Kunming hospitals for the treatment of patients from Bangladesh, but the high air ticket cost is seen as a major impediment to travel to the Chinese city.

Officials said the planned flights between Kunming and Chittagong will bring down travel costs and travel time, paving the way for more Bangladeshis accessing healthcare facilities in China.

Nazmul Islam, Bangladesh ambassador to China, said the authorities in Kunming have dedicated hospital floors for Bangladesh people.

"The treatment fees are modest. A patient from Bangladesh pays the same fees as paid by local Chinese people," Ambassador Islam said.

To expedite travel to Kunming, the civil aviation authorities in Dhaka have also moved to cut the air ticket cost for flights between Dhaka and Kunming.

Chinese authorities have said they would open up more healthcare facilities in the country for the Bangladeshi people.

In April, Bangladesh would also send a big team of journalists to Kunming to see for themselves the treatment facilities there.

Last month dozens of Bangladeshis travelled to Kunming for the first time for treatment. They spoke highly of the standard of hospitals there. But several have complained of travel costs.

Bangladesh ex-PM Sheikh Hasina accused of plotting to overthrow govt​

The latest case centres on a virtual meeting attended by nearly 600 Awami League members in December, which police said had conspired to "wage civil war in Bangladesh"​

Bangladeshi police said on Friday (March 28, 2025) they had filed a new criminal case against ousted premier Sheikh Hasina over an alleged plot to overthrow the government that replaced her.

Ms. Hasina is currently exiled in India, her regime's biggest patron and benefactor, after she was overthrown in a student-led revolution last August.

Numerous criminal indictments have been issued against her and top loyalists of her Awami League party, including over a crackdown by security forces that killed hundreds of demonstrators during last year's unrest.

The latest case centres on a virtual meeting attended by nearly 600 Awami League members in December, which police said had conspired to "wage civil war in Bangladesh" with the aim of restoring Ms. Hasina to power.

"Many of them, both inside and outside the country, pledged to continue their fight until their last breath," the case documents stated.

Police spokesman Jasim Uddin Khan told AFP that charges had initially been filed against Ms. Hasina and 72 others, but that the number of defendants may increase as the investigation progressed.

"The number of participants in the virtual meeting was 577. We are investigating their roles, and if found complicit in the conspiracy, they will be charged," he said.

A report from the U.N. rights office earlier this year stated that Ms. Hasina's government was responsible for systematic attacks and killings of protesters as it attempted to hold onto power last year.

Bangladesh is currently being led by an interim administration with Nobel peace laureate Muhammad Yunus, 84, at the helm.

His caretaker government is tasked with implementing democratic reforms ahead of fresh elections slated to take place by June 2026.

Muhammad Yunus refers to India's northeast states in bid to lure China; eyebrows raised​

Muhammad Yunus, the head of Bangladesh's interim government, during his four-day China visit, made a pitch to Beijing that surprisingly included India's seven northeastern states. He said the seven states were landlocked, and China could use Bangladesh to make extensions.

Any growing influence of China in its immediate neighbourhood would be of concern to India. Bangladesh is of strategic importance to India, and several places in the country are close to the Siliguri Corridor, also referred to as the Chicken's Neck, a tiny strip of land that connects the northeast states to the rest of India.

While urging Beijing to establish an economic foothold in Bangladesh by leveraging its strategic position as the "only guardian of the ocean" in the region, Yunus said, "The seven states of India, the eastern part of India, are called the Seven Sisters. They are a landlocked region of India. They have no way to reach out to the ocean."

"So this opens up a huge possibility. This could be an extension of the Chinese economy," Yunus further said at a high-level roundtable discussion on 'sustainable infrastructure and energy' at Beijing's The Presidential hotel on Friday.

Not just the Indian northeastern states, Yunus also referred to Nepal and Bhutan, while he tried to lure China to make investments in Bangladesh.

"That's an opportunity we should seize and implement. Nepal and Bhutan have unlimited hydropower, which is a blessing. We can bring it to our purpose. From Bangladesh, you can go anywhere you want. The ocean is our backyard," Yunus said in Beijing.

"We are the only guardian of the ocean for all this region. So this opens up a huge possibility. This could be an extension of the Chinese economy. Build things, produce things, market things, bring things to China, bring it out to the rest of the world," Yunus added.

Yunus' remarks on India's seven northeastern states came in as he was speaking to several Chinese business leaders in Beijing.

Yunus, during the China visit, also sought Beijing's expertise in river water management and proposed the need for a 50-year master plan.

His remarks drew attention from Indian economist Sanjeev Sanyal, who is also a member of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Economic Advisory Council.

"China is welcome to invest in Bangladesh, but what exactly is the significance of 7 Indian states being landlocked?" Sanyal asked on X.

"It is very disturbing and needs clarification. Is Yunus publicly calling for China to get involved in the Seven Sister states of India?" asked Chris Blackburn, a political and security analyst, on X.

An expansionist China has tried to get closer to India's northeast. It has built strategic infrastructure, dams and villages close to the border with Arunachal Pradesh, which it claims to be part of "South Tibet".

India, on its part, has tried to match up with border infrastructure, including the Arunachal Frontier Highway, officially National Highway 913 (NH-913). It isn't just another road but India’s most ambitious attempt to fortify its borders with China while bringing development to one of the country’s most remote and rugged regions.

On March 26, coinciding with Bangladesh's Independence Day, Muhammad Yunus boarded a special China Southern flight for a four-day official visit to China. During the trip Yunus, who also met Chinese premier Xi Jinping, inked several memoranda of understanding (MoUs).

The visit, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties between China and Bangladesh, marked a key moment in bilateral relations between both nations.

Yunus's visit to China on Independence Day, coinciding with Bangladesh’s strained ties with India, was no coincidence. It was a message in itself.

"Muhammad Yunus has chosen China for his first state visit and with this Bangladesh is sending a message," Dhaka's top foreign ministry officer, Mohammad Jashim Uddin, told news agency AFP ahead of Yunus's China trip.

Maritime ties were one of the focusses of Yunus' China visit, with Dhaka inviting Chinese firms to modernise Mongla Port and expand the Chinese Economic and Industrial Zone (CEIZ) in Chattogram.

China pledged significant financial support, including $400 million for Mongla Port, $350 million for the CEIZ, and $150 million in technical assistance, with additional grants to follow, according to news agency BSS.

With Bangladesh's economy in dire straits, attracting Chinese investment might be critical for Yunus. But what is difficult to understand is his reference to India's seven northeastern states in his investment pitch.

Once there was a Bakra named 'Abdul'. Abdul lived in perpetual fear of his neighbour, the 'Lion'. The roars of his neighbour Lion would make him tremble with fear. He had nightmares thinking that one day, the Lion might eat him.

Then one day a brilliant idea came to his mind. He invited an Elephant 'Ching Ling' to his home. He wined and dined him and showed him the verdant green fields of his neighbour Lion. "You can have these for yourself, if you Kill the Lion.", he said.

"Well for that, I would have to make a home in your place." said Ching Ling, the Elephant.

Abdul the Bakra, readily acquiesced.

The Elephant Ching Ling settled in Abdul's home. It ate, drank, littered in Abdul Bakra's home. It behaved quite cordially with the Lion too.

After some months of this inaction, Bakra Abdul got flustered and worried. It gave its final ultimatum to Ching Ling the Elephant, "Either remove the Lion or move out, I can't afford to feed you tons of grass every day. You don't fight and are just occupying my home."

Ching Ling the Elephant looked Abdul the Bakra in his eyes and said, " Make me Leave."

Moral of the story : In order to fight a lion, don't invite an elephant into your home. Haters will say that this story is a sly on Bangladesh, Mohammed Yunus, Xi Jinping and India.

I just felt that I should try my hand at Panchtantra.
