- In Bangladesh Md Yunus and, perhaps, students call the shots not army; many Bangladeshis have concerns about relationship with India; attacks on minorities have almost stopped: Publisher & Editor, Daily Star, Mahfuz Anam
...........................................
The Publisher and Editor of the most highly regarded and widely read English language newspaper in Bangladesh, The Daily Star, has said the view that the Bangladesh army and its Army Chief, Gen. Waker-uz-Zaman, call the shots is mistaken and wrong. Mahfuz Anam said in Bangladesh the buck stops with Muhammad Yunus, the head of the interim government, and, perhaps, the students, who spearheaded the downfall of Sheikh Hasina, but not the army. He says the army has deliberately and very carefully chosen to remain in the background and the Army Chief has, therefore, kept a conscious and deliberate low profile.
Speaking about the attacks on minorities, which his paper on Saturday (10th) had front-paged with the statistic that there have been 205 attacks since the fall of Sheikh Hasina (i.e. over 5 days), Mr. Anam said that these have now virtually ended. As a result he said his paper has not mentioned any such attacks in the edition it brought out today (12/8).
In another very important set of answers, Mr. Anam said that many Bangladeshis - and not just the new Foreign Adviser, former Foreign Secretary and former Deputy High Commissioner to Calcutta, Touhid Hossain - have concerns and reservations about the relationship with India. In answer to a specific question about such reservations held by Prof. Yunus, Mr. Anam said that he is a wise man and these will not affect his attitude to India now that he is Chief Adviser of the interim government.
I will leave you to watch the interview to find out further details about all three issues mentioned above. There are sizeable chunks of the interview devoted to them. It is important you should see and understand them directly rather than read them in a precis or paraphrase.
The interview also has a substantial section about Sheikh Hasina and whether Bangladesh’s relationship with India would be adversely affected if she seeks asylum and New Delhi grants it. Again, I will leave you to see the interview to hear this section yourself.
In the interview, Mr. Anam gives considerable details about corruption and crony capitalism under Sheikh Hasina. This is particularly revealing.
He also speaks about reports, carried by NDTV and the Economic Times, about an allegedly undelivered speech where Sheikh Hasina accuses the United States of effectively plotting her downfall with references to St. Martin Island as one of the issues that has annoyed the United States. Mr. Anam said even if Sheikh Hasina’s son is right in claiming that this speech is fake, the sentiments allegedly expressed in it have been spoken by her when she was Prime Minister on multiple occasions. He gives details in the interview. Please see the interview.
This 44-minute interview is detailed and will take time to view but it will also be very rewarding, particularly if you are keen to understand Bangladesh, Muhammad Yunus and the students, the various forces at play, Sheikh Hasina and her regime as well as India-Bangladesh relations and the issues that matter when viewed from the Bangladeshi perspective.
What Mahfuz Anam said is the inner perception of the general people of Bangladesh
This 0ld Uncle Can't Cross His Door. He Thinks He Knows What's Happening On Ground.
What Bangladesh people think of China?
@@1008apocalypse1008 They are just our developing partners, nothing else.
@@AryaArsh Obviously he knows on the ground. you don't know how much respected veteran editor of the newspaper. His newspaper The Daily Star is the largest circulating english newspaper in Bangladesh.
Moreover to know,all the propaganda videos of India was identified and proved wrong by the Bangladeshi and International media.
Our chief adviser did one thing,he informed all the embassy to send their countries journalists to Bangladesh and report on the ground. Journalists were given emergency visa.And it worked magically. The didn’t find anything when they came what was reporting from outside. So the propaganda stopped.
As a Hindu Bangladeshi, I am completely safe in Bangladesh. 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
Thank your for highlighting that brother. We are one 🇧🇩 ❤
Yes we are one your family and your country ❤️ Bangladesh 🇧🇩
God bless you
Thank you brother, India is calling it a genocide, Indian propaganda, thank you for the truth
Thank you brother. ❤❤❤
Take love from your fellow Muslim Bangladeshi brother ❤
The Most Constructive Interview I have ever Seen from the Most Constructive Journalists of the Subcontinent.
Clear & Precise.
Love & Respect from Bangladesh.
Truly an honest discussion. Thank you both sirs.
Mahfuz Anam is Editor of The Daily star. One of the top & credible Newspaper of Bangladesh.
Amazing interview. Bangladesh starts a new journey towards a bright future.
As a bengali from Kolkata, I loved his interviews, a true open minded bengali intelectual.. ✌
He is intelligent and credible, we can recognise that.
He was part of the Dalal media for decades.
@@shahrukhahmedtusher Whitewashing in progress 😂
Mahfuz Anam answered the questions reasonably well.
Esh and india.
What a Wonderful conversation! Wishing all our Bangladeshi brothers and friends a beautiful, brighter and blessed future - Your Well- Wishers from India and the USA
Thank you.
The way things go Bangladesh will disintegrate.
Bravo Mahfuz Anam! You have picked up the real scenario and real words from Bangladeshi.
The way Bangla Desh is taking action to protect Hindus is a slap to Indian Hindus. Despite the behavior of Hindus of India towards Muslims brethren in India, their leaders are publicly calling their rogue elements to behave or else.
Indian politicians reward such elements of India.
Well done Bangla Desh, You’ll certainly prosper. Insha Allah.
Why slap on Indian Hindus? Do you expect Indian Hindus to protect Bangladeshi Hindus?
@@TheIndianTechie007No. but if they behave so cruelly towards muslims in India, muslims in Bangladesh are bound to return the favor.
Thank God their government is sensible, unlike ours.
@@AlokAsthana1954 In Bangladesh Hindus have been treated like animals since 3 decades. Not new. In India, Muslims are not suffering even 10% of that.
@@AlokAsthana1954 In Bangladesh Hindus are facing cruelty since many decades. The Muslims of Jamat there are returning favor to Hindus since 1947 till date. Nothing new. What are you even talking about?
Thanks.
Bangladeshis & Indians are brothers after all. Seven sisters & whole India will be unhappy if Bangladesh is unhappy. We should walk together, work together for our progress.
Mahfuz Anam is a very smart academic person. He explain everything in details. His facts are correct.
Totally clueless...?
Honest and open discussion. Totally reflects the thought process of a Bangladeshi common people.
Absolutely wonderful!!! Loved every word spoken by this wise man Mr. Anam. My respect to both of you.
Sheik Hassena is answerable to her public, her country men, whom she has been ruling for last 15 years, she must go back to her country and face the law and to her own people, not any body else, No America No other countries.
Mahfuz Anam sir, thank you for presenting reality of current Bangladesh.
Respect to you.
If indeed Bangladeshi students form their own party, it will indeed be a great moment for you. Hope for the best and All the best!
Thanks Karan, that was an excellent interview, hope neighbour country relations runs well!!!
Such a terrific interview such insight
Mr Mahfuz Anam seems to understand both the Bangladesh and Indian political systems pretty well.
Your assessment is correct. Mr mahfuz is always stand with democracy. He doesn't care to criticizing any bad government policy, regardless awami league or bangladesh nationalist party.and he has thousands of Indian connection, so he knows India very well. Well known personally.he is always do advocacy for anti fundamental politics.
Dr Yunus's integrity and credibility is unquestionably at the highest peak worldwide.
He is attached to the CIA.
@@DipakBose-bq1vv This allegation is based on nothing other than speculation. But even if it were true, it means there will be less Chinese and Islamist influence. Either way, a win-win for India.
@@anshuecon Total Islamist influence! His sponsor is not the entirety of US...but just the far-Left US cabal (in which Islamists are a major stakeholder). Yunus is going to do the bidding of Islamists (Muslim Brotherhood) in US...also affiliated to Pakistan ISI
Two days back: Hundreds surround Supreme Court, give 1 hour ultimatum to Chief Justice to resign or…??
Today: Muhammad Yunus acquitted in corruption case.
World's fastest acquittal in corruption case.
LOL....Democracy at best
Hats off to you Mr. Anam. Loved seeing you presenting Bangladesh’s concern and defending the country while maintaining respect to India at the same time. Talking about Indian mainstream media failing to fact check was very important. Respect for you!
I'm afraid I have to disagree with Mr. Mahfuz Anam on the issue of Hasina's role in human rights abuse, all those enforced disappearances, extra judicial killings, and secret prisons. She has to be accountable. Why do you think there was Nuremburg trials after World War 2?
why India is shielding the biggies from the US Pannun case? They were just following the diktat from the PMO, right?
As an Indian, Bangladeshis rest assured, we as Indians are countering the Far-right fake news in India. We have corrected in many such Fake Videos.
We stand with the people of Bangladesh against Hasina's dictatorship.
Mainstream right wing media is also coming back. Social Media have already called out fake news in India, like Deshbhakt and Zubair.
It seems you care more about debunking far right fake videos instead of condemning the pogrom that is happening in general, good luck with that lmao
Have you met any Bangladeshi Hindus
@@gojendraayekpam7111 Yes, my family is there.
@@derekobs9688 bro no pogrom was done, sporadic violence in some problematic areas.
Thank you for seeing through the propaganda, we need to stay united. Violence against BAL leaders are happening regardless of their religion. People took out 15 years of frustration on these BAL leaders. Some of them were hindus, but to say it was religious agenda is dangerous to say the least. However, yes few incidents where temples were burned and mosques were looted, they are most definitely condemnable.
Now you have Mr Karan Thapar 👍 a neutral journalist friend.
An islamophilic.
A superlative interview! Mahfuz Anam is a very knowledgeable and honestly speaking person so is Mr. Karan Thapar. Indians who are interested in Bangladesh politics and why Sheikh Hasina's regime suddenly changed, can hear this interview and really have a fresh look on Bangladesh.
Very educated and well informed conversation between two gentlemen. Kudos!
Mr Anam answered the questions clearly, openly and cleared many of the concerns one would have had on the current situation. He came across as an intellectual, a nationalist and open-minded person. Hope he can influence the current situation to his country’s change of course to a better country in the coming weeks/months.
Very nice honest discussion with open mind at both sides.
I highly respect Bangladesh Editor. He is a positive and farsighted journalist. God bless him.
true face of media,really...thak you both from the deapest part of my heart
Thank you Mr Thapar for another dignified interview. Respect to Mr Anam!
Indeed very insightful, reassuring and in alignment with any conscientious viewer not just of India or Bangladesh, but to any universal viewer across the globe.. For this the maturity and seasoned minds of both the gentlemen in the dialogue is pivotal... I'm glad I was able to witness this dialogue!
Excellent articulation from Mr. Anam! He explicit in his views. His thinking was pragmatic. He came with deep homework
Thanks to Mahfuz Anam for his great true opinions
A brilliant interview . Questions are critical but appropriate . The answers are simple , subtle and straight . Soulful thanks from me to them .
Thank you Mr. Mahfuz Anam for being vocal against the tyranny of Hasina and supporting freedom, democracy, liberation.
Framing of questions is good. Better than panel discussions since sufficient time is allowed for answers or discussion
I am a bangladeshi hindu we are still concern about our safety ..we need support
Please reach out to army or students - they will definitely protect you and your property
If you love your country, if you don't want to play Hindu card of RAW and shitty Awami, you are supposed to approach your neighborhood mosques, army officers and Muslim neighbours/ students. They are all engaged to stop all pro India Awami members' false flags (harming Hindus, Ahmadis to play the Hindu card to defame the Interim Gov.). We did not come across any pro Ahmadi on internet and spread minority card. Why your kind of Hindu is playing the Hindu card? Did India pay you?
Anyone from Bangladesh, please find this Hindu and send him to the neighborhood support ctr to get help. Thanks.
When Two Great Journalists of Two Countries talk, Good for both Bangladesh and India
Mr. Anam explains the real scenario in this conversation.
Thank you very much Mr. Thapar for an intelligent and objective interview.
Great discussion. India also needs a revolution of ideas and thought.
Excellent , very positive and factual interview Mr. Anam.
Excellently said by Anam Sir!
Mahfuz Anam sir beautifully analyzed the situation...A WELL DEFINED REPRESENTATION...
Thanks for a knowledgeable exchange of thoughts between the two icons of journalism in the sub continent ...
Salute to you Mahfuz Sir.
You are just mind blowing.
Not only the students, all the general public of the country is sufferer, the public has to dictate the terms administration shall work for general public and not for P M or president of the country.
Well done Karan. Mr Mahfuz Anam is an enlightened Bangladeshi who cares for his country and his comments have been very balanced .I completely agree with him that india should leave Bangladesh to eveolve its own coalition politics and we deal with them as a fair and respected neighbor.A Muslim majority country should not be a cause for worry because India deals with Indlonesia,Malaysia, entire Middle east, without lecturing them. Leave bangladesh to show that they have come of age and this new regime, which includes Prof Yunus and students. The BJP should treat this as an opportunity to build new bridges and not wait for a return of Sheikh Hassina
Reply
Thanks for such a great discussion ❤❤❤
Why India is so over concern about Bangladesh while Shake Hassina run away from Bangladesh cowardly leaving her nation behind. Actually she was serving Indias interest not Bangladeshes interest which is very hypocritical to her own people. Why should Bangladeshis keep her in power who brought corruption in all levels
Mr M ANAM , We are Thank full to you for answers you gave to Mr K Thapar we are are people understand in our heart but unable to express it. And sir you have done it on our behalf. Thank you once again from core of my heart. Alam , NYC
Very impressive interview! I believe, those fact checks will help to diminish the wrong perceptions of Indian audiences. Thanks to Mr. Thapar and Mr. Mahfuz Anam!
Thank you, Mahfuz Anaaam for appropriate replies to the Indian journalist!your
We also in India respect how you see your world.Wish Bangladesh the very best from India.
Mahfuz Anam Sir, you made the point very clear.
Isn’t Journalists’ first loyalty is to journalism rather than to regimes? Excellent discussion.
Please dont believe the Indian media! I’m a hindu living in Bangladesh. I am 100% safe. I have never felt threatened for my religion in Bangladesh. 🇧🇩
But what about the other Hindus?
@@varoonshekhar4023those 205 attacked 99% are related to Awami League Political workers
A thought provoking discourse . Karan. Is always candid and upfront ❤
for the first i have listened such long discussion regarding political issues. Mr. Mahfuz has brilliantly potraited the thoughts of a bangladeshi citizen. Hope india and indian people receives his message positively.
As an Bangladeshi We want India 🇮🇳 shouldn’t interrupt about our country we know better how to organize & serve our country
It was India who got you independence, never forget that.
@@Zulu98 Not really we didn't need India, India only came when there was an attack on their front and bangladesh fought the war for 8 months while india came in the last two weeks of the war
@@RushwithAB you know nothing about your history! Had India not come to rescue, Bangladesh would have have had a different story to revel. You should read more. Bangladesh had 17% hindu population, now it is just 7%, you are about to become another Pakistan in making. Radicalisation and extremism have been normalised in Bangladesh, you guys will be just another proxy of Pakistan from now onwards.
Stop nonsense
@@Zulu98 yes that’s true India was help us for their own benefit not for our benefit you know the politics
It’s not India, Bangladesh should decide the policy towards India. A complete overhaul of this relationship is mandatory.
Yah that’s true … like Sri Lanka and maldives Bangladesh should also shun India and then realize where they stand without India …
@@vineetdeorari8017 sorry friend. Watch out for your leaders otherwise soon you will find living in a different country but with the same neighbors.
This is Karan Thapar! Such an enjoyable interview. 2 learned journalists 💜
So nice of you, Mr Anam. 💙🙏
The first Indian journalist who is not working on Propaganda game and is level headed person! Loved the interview. And all has been discussed was very well put by Mahfuzur Rahman!
Such a brilliant interview!
People should take the opportunity to condemn any fake news.
Excellent and very timely and enlightening interview.
Thanks mr.thapar and md yusuf on presend political crisis of banglad
QUESTION TO ALL INDIAN BROTHERS SISTERS DO YOU WANT FRIENDS AS YOUR NEIGHBORS OR DO YOU WANT TO SEE AS YOUR SERVANTS?
Ms Hasina has been punished for her own misdeeds.
she has been just trying out her tricks to stay on power. Rest does not matter.
Let us keep this conversation going. People will find a common ground and life in the neighbourhood will only get better.
Crony capitalism everywhere !!
The difference with India is precisely that of scale.
It's now proved that when Bangladesh is in the right direction, Indian politician and journalist feel and become much concerned and worried which has no basis at all. That's the mindset they developed since independence.
you were going in the right direction with your economic growth. India doesn't care about Bangladesh. you guys have an obsession with India. We don't care about you in the sense that you think we do. We have our issues to take care of. I'm from mumbai and there are so many bangladeshi migrants. If there is a coup in the neighborhodd we will be concerhned. if you progress India is happy. Why should we worry? you guys build nothing
@@jitkr1489Better you research more how much hasina has ate all this years in the name of development…if you even confront about her party you will be killed . We bangladeshi never hated indian people rather we hated your BJP government because of too much interfering!
@@randomgirl333-m4d What interfering? Too vague
@@jitkr1489 Yes, Hasina, despite her faults and missteps, had Bangladesh in the right direction. Economically, it was doing reasonably well.
@@varoonshekhar4023 Yes interfered whenever your government wanted opened dam which caused serious flood , whenever your govt wanted they raised the prices. We normal citizens couldn’t afford hilsha fish which is our national fish , you guys enjoyed because all got imported to india first . As a bangladeshi citizen we have to maintain relations with india always but if your government always try to control us that’s unacceptable.
This the real story. Accept it indians and save Bangladeshi Hindu from Indian Hindu ❤
If india doesn’t kick hasina out, Bangladeshis Won't forgive India....
She will be. Anyway she is of no use now. From India
@@subhrajitgupta5535according to you, but not your government
And send her where? To Bangladesh?
@@varoonshekhar4023 of course, she should be held accountable. Every action has a consequence
You will never forgive India anyway. It doesn't matter what we do.
If we let her go, that will break the international asylum law. No foreign politician will ever feel safe in India anymore.
It was your army that left her here. You exported your problem here, and now you are blaming us.
I know nothing about professor Younus but it seems to me that he is shrewd ,honest and able man .I appreciate him and thank him from the deepest cove of my mind.
i had tears in my eyes in the end of the interview. proud of mahfuz anam, his smile shows his honesty
Well said sir. Indian government should stand with Bangladeshi people not with political party or dictator like Hasina
Mr Mahfuz is quite the genial, sauve face of B'desh and maybe that's the reason everyone from Barkha Dutt to Karan Thapar is picking his brains.
Wishing they widened the field to get a broader perspective 🤞
Cleaning the system
loved these two gentlemen's talking. Better than most of the mainstream media😍
Wow.. Excellent Interview 👍🙏🏼
Proud of the people of Bangladesh. You have wrested back your country from an autocrat.
Long live the will of the people
Thank you Mr. Thapar and Mr. Anam.
good response and also great ans tnq mr mahfuz sir
Thanks Karan for this brilliant interaction with Mahfuz Anam.
Wao both of you are the sweet dishes of colour full words, 🎉🎉
Thank you so much, Mr. Mahfuz Anam
Thank you Mr. Mahfuz Anam! Well said.
At this time, Teesta water treaty must be sorted.
My personal opinion is no government for three years, let the best brains to run the country, after that they can have elected government on two party system, ruling and apposition only.
There will be both internal and external forces against this. But you will need 5 to 10 years for any discipline or culture to take roots and become robust to defend itself.
Bangladeshi People I mate and neighbours, friends are very good characters,I appreciate Bangladeshi they are very hospitality.
Bangladesh is always a paradise for Hindu people.
They get 200% safety here.
In pilkhana 100% Muslim officers were killed. But Hindu people are safe.
In quota movement about 100% Muslims were martyrs .
So Hindu people are always safe in Bangladesh.
Bangladeshi minority community get 100% care and respect whereas Indian minority get 0% care.
So no tension
ramin , very logically well said , sir
Oh come off it
This is why Hindu population decreased from 22% in '71 to 8% in '24 !!!!!
Credible interview and excellent coverage..
Excellent 👍👍 presentation.
Among all the Indian news channels you are the best by mile.
Mafuz Anam should have mentioned the harassment Hasina did to him by false cases all over district of Bangladesh.
Educational interview.
Very Important discussion
It was good interview From Both ends
I live in USA and love Bangla Deshi people. They are hardworking and nice people. My question is that Doesn’t she have some followers in Bangla Desh. Her family is the one who created this country. What happened all of a sudden that no one likes her
@@rajwantvirk5182 she has turned out to be autocratic, killer of her countrymen...her list of sins are endless...
