Bangladesh Protests Highlight Domestic Issues and Concerns Over India Transit Corridor
Thousands protested in Dhaka against Prime Minister Tarique Rahman's government over inflation, fuel shortages, and power cuts, demanding resignations of key ministers. Led by National Citizen Party convener Nahid Islam, the rally included anti-India slogans such as "Delhi Nahi, Dhaka" and accusations of Indian interference. Islam also warned against an Indian transit corridor through Bangladesh and called for a fair renewal of the Ganges water-sharing treaty. The government’s recent cooperation with Japan on regional initiatives was noted amid these tensions.
