Full Summary

Bangladesh's Foreign Ministry expressed concern for nationals in Iran following strikes that killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and top commanders, urging restraint from regional parties but omitting the US and Israel. The March 1 statement drew online outrage, with critics calling it cowardly and accusing the BNP government of acting like a US puppet, contrasting it with the ousted Awami League's bolder approach. With millions of Bangladeshis in the Middle East, Dhaka prioritizes citizen protection amid escalating tensions and Iranian retaliation that killed US troops.

Key Takeaway

Bangladesh chose careful words after deadly US-Israel strikes on Iran, focusing on its citizens' safety rather than naming attackers. That decision sparked sharp criticism at home.

Around 25,000 mostly Christian residents from low-income families in Rimsha and Akram Gill colonies protested a CDA eviction notice demanding they leave H-9 by March 13, fearing sudden homelessness. The settlement formed in 2012 after mob violence displaced families following a false blasphemy accusation against 14-year-old Rimsha Masih, with authorities relocating them for safety. CDA calls it urban planning to clear illegal encroachments on greenbelts and drainage areas posing flood risks, but HRCP deems the short-notice action unlawful under a 2015 Supreme Court order requiring resettlement plans; crowds halted bulldozers on Thursday.

Key Takeaway

Chanting 'Hallelujah' and 'We are citizens, not trespassers,' residents filled the streets of Rimsha Colony, clutching placards and a large cross to defend their homes.
