Bangladesh is experiencing multiple crises, including a surge in attacks on minorities, particularly Hindus, with four such incidents reported in two weeks. Analysts attribute this to rising fundamentalism and a growing far-right influence. The country also witnessed mob violence following the death of independent leader Sharif Osman Hadi, which targeted media houses, cultural centers, and archives. Amidst this turmoil, Tarique Rehman, interim chairperson of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, returned after 17 years of exile, positioning him as a potential PM candidate.
