New York Times reports rise of radicalism in Bangladesh

The US newspaper ‘New York Times’ has reported that since the formation of the interim Government in Bangladesh, extremists have been given free hands. The report also says that people with ideology that, ‘anyone who does not believe in Islam or acts against Islamic ideology will be punished’, want to take control of the country. A new Constitution is being written for Bangladesh. The word ‘secularism’ will be removed from the Constitution and emphasis will be placed on running the country according to Islamic principles. After Sheikh Hasina was ousted from power, political instability has arisen in Bangladesh. The article also says that extremist organizations are trying to take advantage of this.

Editorial Perspective

Radicalism has already flourished in Bangladesh. Due to this, Bangladeshi Hindus are suffering like in hell. If the fundamentalists come to power there, Hindus will surely become extinct; but along with that, it will also pose a threat to India’s security. Therefore, the Indian Government must pay serious attention to this.
