DHAKA: As the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus approaches the end of its tenth month in office, protests -- ranging from student demonstrations to factory workers' strikes, as well as movements from women's rights organisations and radical Islamist parties -- continue to escalate in Bangladesh.
Protests, political uncertainty and increasing incidents of crime and violence have gripped Bangladesh since the Yunus-led interim government, which once vowed to bring reforms, assumed power last August.
On Tuesday, another protest entered its fourth day, when hundreds of employees from various ministries and divisions of the South Asian Nation gathered at the Secretariat in Dhaka, demanding the withdrawal of the 'Public Service (Amendment) Ordinance, 2025', approved by the interim administration.
