Former Bangladesh minister and Awami League leader Mohammad Ali Arafat has criticized the interim government led by Mohammad Yunus on Thursday (October 23, 2025). He accused the Yunus government of violating human rights and said that the rule of law has collapsed in the country.

Arafat said in a post on social media platform

He said the perpetrators of these attacks have been given freedom or provided compensation, meaning no legal cases can be filed against the killers or those destroying state property and the victims will never be able to demand justice.

People violating human rights are roaming freely – Arafat

Awami League leader Arafat alleged that those who carried out the killings in broad daylight using weapons and sticks had gone unpunished. He said, ‘Under the unconstitutional and illegitimate rule of Yunus who violates human rights, there is no rule of law in Bangladesh. Only extremists rule.

He claimed that cases have been registered against police and military personnel, who were performing their duties to protect life and property from arson and killings, and they will be prosecuted. Many of them have been arrested on fabricated charges of enforced disappearances and murders.

Bangladesh’s International Criminal Tribunal (ICT) on Wednesday (October 22, 2025) ordered the jailing of 15 military officers in three separate cases of alleged forced disappearances, killings and other crimes against humanity during the Awami League government, local media reported.

Sheikh Hasina criticized the arrest of military officers

Last week, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina strongly criticized the arrest of army officers, saying there was no rule of law in Bangladesh under the Yunus-led interim government. Addressing a virtual meeting with party leaders in Nagaon, he asked, ‘I am surprised as to how the Army can be expected to hand over these officers to the law. Where is the law? There is no rule of law in this country. This government is illegitimate and all its actions are illegal. Why should these officers be handed over to such a government?

Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina criticized the current interim government on the completion of one year of democratically elected Awami League government in Bangladesh on Tuesday (August 5, 2025). He appreciated the countrymen for standing against injustice and repression.

In an open letter to the people of the country, Sheikh Hasina wrote, “A year ago, our country saw violent disruption in democracy achieved by our difficult struggles, when a non-elected regime took power in unconstitutional ways. It was a black moment in our history. It was an insult to the public’s will and the state was betrayed.”

Sheikh Hasina praised the courage of the people of Bangladesh

Criticizing the interim government led by Mohammad Yunus, Hasina wrote, “Even though he has taken power, he will never be able to take away our spirit, our resolve or our fate. I can assure you.” He praised the extraordinary courage of the people of Bangladesh, who has refused to remain silent in front of injustice and repression.

In the letter, he wrote, “You raised their voice for democracy, freedom and the future that we all deserve. I am constantly inspired by your courage and your love for the country. Although this has been tested by us last year, but it has also highlighted the unbreakable bond between our people and the values of democracy. We have faced difficulties, but we have found unity and purpose in those difficulties.”

What is broken, we will all make it together- Hasina

Hasina wrote, “The power belongs to the people, no governance can suppress the willpower of a nation forever and their struggle continues for just purposes.” The former Prime Minister urged people to stand for justice, economic opportunity, education, peace and a nation where no one is in fear. He wrote, “We will all re -create what we have broken together. We will all together recover the institutions that were taken away from us. We will all write a new chapter, which will be defined not by harassment, but from hope, progress and freedom.”

Our best days are yet to come, beautiful lady

The former Prime Minister wrote, “Bangladesh has faced adverse circumstances earlier. We will stand up again and even strong and even stronger and even more united and more determined to build a democracy that really serves my people. I believe in you. I believe in Bangladesh and I believe that our best days are yet to come.” Hasina appealed in the letter to remember as a call for the bright tomorrow.

At the same time, Mohammad Yunus has taken a dig at India over the tariff imposed by America. Yunus said, “India has received a tariff of 25 percent from the US as compared to other countries as it has failed to make a comprehensive agreement with the US.”

India-Bangladesh relations have deteriorated for the last one year

India has taken tough steps against anti -India comments and rhetoric under the Yunus rule in Bangladesh. In such a situation, the relations between the two countries are going bad since August last year and the trade of both countries has also been affected.

At the same time, Bangladesh, who is dependent on America, believes that it has done better than its neighbor India by achieving 20 percent tariffs against 25 percent of India’s 25 % additional tariffs.

Mohammad Yunus has no right- Veena Sikri

Former High Commissioner Veena Sikri said, “After the Army’s announcement, it now depends on Mohammad Yunus that what they react to this? Because it is very important to remember that on August 5 last year, when Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina migrated from the country after the student movement, the Bangladeshi military chief agreed that the Bangladeshi military chief agreed that Mohammad Unus can be sworn in as an interim government.”

He said, “However, this is just an interim government, it is not even a caretaker government. In such a situation, he does not have the right to make any kind of improvement and the right to make any changes in the constitution. But Mohammad Yunus -led regime still made many changes, made cases, filed cases against Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and even his political party did not have the right to Bangladesh Awami League, which did not have the right.”

Mohammed Yunus supports Islamic fundamentalists

Veena Sikri said, “Mohammad Yunus has the support of Islamic fundamentalists. It includes all Islamic radical groups including Jamaat-e-Islami. I would say that they are representatives of Islamic fundamentalists.”

Bimstec Summit 2025: During the BIMSTEC summit 2025, a very special view was seen in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bangladesh’s interim government chief Mohammad Yunus were seen sitting next to each other. The opportunity was of dinner, which was hosted by Thailand’s Prime Minister Partagarn Shinavatra. The possibility of this meeting was already being expressed. It is considered very important in view of changing relations between India and Bangladesh.

The meeting of Prime Minister Modi and Mohammad Yunus is considered important because it will be the first high-level talks after Sheikh Hasina is out of power. For the past several months, tension has increased recently in relations between India and Bangladesh, there are many reasons behind it. For example, minorities have been attacked in neighboring countries, in which the main target has been made for Hindus. Bangladesh’s relationship with India has become sweet with Pakistan and China. However, in the midst of all this, this meeting shows the possibility of negotiating on these issues during the BIMSTEC summit 2025. India can take advantage of this and make strategic concerns clear to Bangladesh.

Yunus’s visit to China and India’s concern
Mohammad Yunus’s recent visit to China was a matter of concern for India. He made some comments about the northeastern region of India, which India did not like. The main reason for this is that China is constantly strengthening its hold in South Asia, and India is concerned that Bangladesh does not come under the influence of Beijing completely.

China-Bangladesh signs of growing partnership
China has expressed the intention of investing in Bangladesh’s infrastructure. Bangladesh may also see the possibility of military cooperation with China. It is feared that even for this, there is no aviation of Bangladesh’s possible changes in foreign policy. Therefore, the Modi-Unus meeting may be a chance to establish a balance for India during the BIMSTEC summit.

Growing proximity to Pakistan
The recent military and diplomatic relations between Bangladesh and Pakistan have gained momentum. Bangladesh conducted joint military exercises with Pakistan. There was also a visit to military delegations from Pakistan and Bangladesh. Amidst all this, Yunus has also received an invitation from Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif to come to Pakistan. This is a danger bell for India as Bangladesh had been having a strong strategic relationship with India till now. If this attitude changes, new geopolitical instability may arise in South Asia.

Possible results from Modi-Unus meeting
The meeting of Modi and Yunus can go in many possible directions, which are the following.

Modi can emphasize the importance of continuing cooperation with Bangladesh.
Efforts can be made to balance the influence of China and Pakistan.
India can offer a new economic proposal or defense cooperation.
Focus on safety of minorities in Bangladesh.
There is a strong economic partnership between India-Bangladesh, and this meeting can help resolve trade disputes.
India can demand a clear stand from Younus on many important issues.
