Bangladesh Azad Party and Islamist Groups Protest Near Indian High Commission in Dhaka
Protests led by the Bangladesh Azad Party, linked to Jamaat-e-Islami and other Islamist groups, took place near the Indian High Commission in Dhaka on June 19. Demonstrators opposed India's border policies, including alleged attempts to push undocumented migrants into Bangladesh, and burned an effigy of India's Home Minister Amit Shah. Indian intelligence sources view the protests as part of a strategy by Jamaat-e-Islami to mobilize anti-India sentiment and strengthen political influence along the border. Bangladeshi police prevented the march from reaching the diplomatic mission, and security remains heightened amid ongoing tensions.
