⁨📷⁩ ⁨According to a DW Bangla report, 93% of government jobs are now filled based on merit, with no quota for women. Women’s share among new recruits has fallen from up to 35% to 19%.

The change could mean fewer women entering government service in the future, potentially reducing women’s representation in public-sector jobs and decision-making roles in Bangladesh.⁩

Back in 1971, the @UN and the global community did not prevent the murderous Pakistani Army and its Bangladeshi proxy Jamaat e Islami from orchestrating one of the worst genocides in global memory. Now fifty-five years down the line, those perpetrators continue to enjoy impunity as these international bodies continue to deny the massacre of millions and indiscriminate rape, among other atrocities.
Emboldened by the absence of international recognition and impunity, the perpetrators- Pak Army and its allies – launched a fierce, notorious campaign of genocide denial to erase a shred of evidence and vilify millions of martyrs and survivors.
Despite overwhelming evidence of genocide surrender, from Gen Yahiya Khan to incumbent army chief Asim Munir, every Pak army chief sought to whitewash the genocide as they protected each Pak army official responsible for these war atrocities, sponsored a deception campaign, projecting our war heroes and the independence leaders as traitors.
Echoing the tone, Bangladesh’s Jamaat, abusing state power with like-minded allies, has launched a cultural genocide while they seek to undo all the gains of 1971, a stark betrayal of our freedom and flag. Vandalism of thousands of war memorials, physical assault on war heroes, and distortion of independence history have been rewarded with impunity. Even the party that led the struggle for independence, the Awami League, has been banned by a draconian law.
But as history showed, these attempts will never succeed. It is high time the world community must recognize the genocide, a first step to bring accountability and serve justice at least as a tribute to victims and survivors.⁩

ছড়িয়ে দিলাম গোলাপ পাপড়ি
রক্ত ভাবি ঢাকবে
বৃথা আমার সকল প্রয়াস
রক্তের দাগ থাকবে।

গুড়িয়ে দিলাম স্মৃতির সদন
নিশান কি আর থাকবে
আগস্ট এলে মনের ভেতর
শোকের পাখি ডাকবে।

পুড়িয়ে দিলাম বইগুলো সব
স্মৃতি কে আর রাখবে,
রাখল বাঁশির সুরে সুরে
মুজিব অমর থাকবে।

খুনির মুখে শুনিয়ে দিলাম
দেশপ্রেমের ঐ কাব্য
মুচকি হেসে পিতা বলেন
রক্তে তোদের থাকব।

যতই করো কাঁটা ছেঁড়া
লাভ কিছু কি হবে-
ঘাতক তুমি জেনে রেখো
জাতির পিতা থাকবে।

‘Farcical election’: Sheikh Hasina’s first reaction as Bangladesh voting ends, demands Muhammad Yunus’s resignation
https://t.co/QJZNerbjC2

[Mohammad Ali Arafat @MAarafat71]

Twenty-three result sheets signed by agents of the “Dari Palla” (scales symbol) were seized in the Jhenaidah-4 constituency. The attached video clip reportedly shows preparations being made to cast votes at night. While a few individuals were caught, many others allegedly escaped unnoticed. This is being cited as an example of what Yunus is calling the “best election” in Bangladesh’s history under his administration. No Awami League or allied party members were allowed to take part; it has all been confined within their own groups. Even so, this kind of conduct clearly reflects the level of commitment these radical Islamist parties have toward ensuring a free and fair election.

An election cannot claim legitimacy when major political forces and key segments of the population are excluded from participating. Across Bangladesh today, millions of citizens are deliberately staying away from the polls, refusing to validate a process they see as lacking fairness, inclusivity, and meaningful competition.

Their absence from polling stations was deliberate and symbolic. When true representation is denied, boycott becomes the language of dissent. It is a peaceful, democratic form of protest; a declaration that legitimacy must be earned, not manufactured.

The people of Bangladesh boycotted what they view as a farcical election to signal to the international community that democracy is not defined by the mere holding of polls, but by fairness, transparency, and genuine choice.

Bangladesh heads to the polls on Feb 12 — but without its largest political party.

The Awami League remains banned under the Anti-Terrorism Act, raising serious questions about the credibility of the election. Human rights groups warn of political repression, minority violence, and the silencing of journalists under the interim regime.

Australia and Western democracies continue funding and engaging with a process many fear is neither free nor inclusive.

Is this democracy — or a dangerous precedent?

My interview with @Bloomberg:

This election isn’t just about who wins seats. It’s about the future of democratic participation, political voice, and stability in one of South Asia’s most dynamic nations.

Thursday's election won't resolve the country's instability and the result will always be questionable.

What Is Happening With Elections in Bangladesh?

Yunus’s so-called election is anything but democratic.

Under his patronage, the illegal and anti-national Jamaat-e-Islami has openly turned the process into a cash-for-votes operation. Jamaat-backed candidate and party lawyer Shahriar Kabir has been seen offering money and asking for votes for the “scales” symbol.

This is not an isolated case. It follows a familiar pattern. Jamaat talks loudly about democracy, morality, and good governance, yet on the ground it treats votes like a commodity. Money, intimidation, and backroom collusion have long been part of its playbook.

With the protection of an illegitimate Yunus, forces that opposed Bangladesh’s independence and were responsible for war crimes are once again entering the electoral arena, this time wrapped in the language of democracy.

Bangladesh deserves a real election, not a staged one.

Deep condolences to the bereaved family members on the demise of BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia. At such a critical time when countrymen are reeling from a lack of safety, with efforts underway to destabilise and depoliticise the country, her passing away will leave a deep impact on the country’s transition.

Despite being subjected to a depoliticization process in the past, throughout her political career, she achieved a host of successes and shaped several policies for the country. She will be remembered for her contributions to nation-building, but her death is a blow to stabilizing Bangladesh.

Heartfelt prayers with her countless supporters and well-wishers.
