Whereas many would have thought and hoped that Bangladesh would limp again to normalcy with the interim authorities asserting that elections can be held early subsequent 12 months, a detailed evaluation of the state of affairs within the nation paints a grim image.

Even events such because the Bangladesh Nationalist Social gathering (BNP) is fed up with the developments and its leaders are doubting whether or not or not a free and honest election can be held. There are additionally doubts whether or not an election can be held in any respect. Whereas the political class are prone to iron out their variations taking the bigger image into thoughts, the concern for Bangladesh is the rift between the scholar leaders and the advisers of the interim authorities.
The August 2024 rebellion led to the ouster of Sheikh Hasina and now what threatens the nation is a battle between the scholars and the advisers of the interim authorities.
The scholars who led the August rebellion went on to kind the Nationwide Citizen Social gathering (NCP). They mentioned that they’d contest the elections, prone to be held in February 2026. Many inside the NCP have turn into extraordinarily suspicious of some advisers within the Muhammad Yunus led interim authorities. They really feel that a few of them are negotiating with the political events to safe an escape route from the federal government. Whereas at first, the allegation appeared barely gentle, the aggression was out when NCP chief Sarjis Alam mentioned that the one escape that continues to be open for the advisers was demise.
Specialists and watchers are seeing this as a transparent signal of one thing large to come back. It looks like a Nepal like state of affairs and we’d not be stunned if the NCP led by the scholars take to the streets as soon as once more like they did in August.
Along with all that is the ISI’s play within the nation. The ISI has the Jamaat-e-Islami doing its soiled job in Bangladesh. For the ISI, a rustic in chaos can be appropriate since an unstable Bangladesh threatens the safety of India.
The ISI appears at every part with an India perspective and whereas serving to terror teams arrange camps and modules, it will additionally like chaos in Bangladesh.
Additional the scholar leaders are rising suspicious of a number of the advisers within the interim authorities. They really feel that these individuals are becoming a member of arms with the political events to safe themselves. They’re getting used to the comforts and wish to proceed having fun with them after elections are held.

They’d hoped that following the ouster of Sheikh Hasina, normalcy can be restored and they’d have good administration that might take the nation ahead.
Nevertheless because the August rebellion and the set up of Yunus, Bangladesh has been within the information for all of the incorrect causes. There may be giant scale radicalisation, the Islamists have run amok, the economic system is failing, the ISI is asking the pictures and the persecution in opposition to the minorities has risen to an all time excessive.
The NCP is pushing for the elections to be held. Nevertheless now it doubts if those that are calling the pictures together with the Jamaat are occupied with holding elections in any respect.
Additional, even when elections are held, there are doubts if it will be free and honest. It’s not simply the NCP that has doubts, however it lingers on within the minds of the folks as nicely. Many have mentioned that they’d not exit and vote since it will be an unfair election. All these developments and the tensions inside the administration clearly point out that one other rebellion might be on its manner.
