  • BNP leaders say the stir, initially confined to legal dispute with Yunus-led interim govt over mayoral seat, is quickly evolving into broader standoff over deferred general election.

The article from ThePrint discusses the escalating political tension in Bangladesh as the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) stages protests against the Awami League government led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The unrest is primarily centered around the mayoral post in Gazipur, where the BNP alleges that the government is unfairly targeting their candidate, Zahangir Alam, with legal actions to prevent him from running. The situation has been further complicated by the arrest of Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus on charges of labor law violations, which the BNP claims is a move to suppress dissent. As patience wears thin among the populace, the BNP's street protests are intensifying, reflecting broader dissatisfaction with the government's handling of political opposition and governance issues.
