Bangladesh party backs CJP stir, ex-Yunus aide seeks Modi's fall

DHAKA: Nahid Islam, a prominent figure in Bangladesh's July 2024 movement that ousted Sheikh Hasina as Prime Minister, has rallied support for protests in New Delhi spearheaded by the Chief Justice of India. Meanwhile, a former adviser to the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus has expressed hope for the downfall of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The convener of the National Citizen Party, Nahid Islam, emphasized the shared struggles of young people in both nations, calling for electoral accountability, protection of democratic rights, and unity against fascism and division. He urged the people of India to stand firm and reject communal hatred. Islam also joined Asif Nazrul in expressing sympathy for the suffering of the Indian people under Modi's rule, stating that their downfall would bring relief to many and potentially weaken anti-Muslim politics and societal inequalities.
