Bangladeshi authorities must immediately drop charges against journalists Farzana Rupa and Mozammel Haque and protect freedom of expression and media freedom, in line with Bangladesh's international human rights obligations. Freedom of expression protects information and opinions that may offend, shock or disturb. Arresting journalists for their reporting, even if disagreeable, violates that right and threatens media freedom.

On 7 October, Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal may frame charges against two journalists, raising serious concerns about criminalizing journalism and stifling independent reporting.

The world is facing an unprecedented #crisis, and it is intensifying. The future looks stormy, with huge fallouts across global and national #politics and #economy. If India can mediate peace in the Russia-Ukraine war, it would be a major positive. Conversation with @aniltrigunayat @AmbTrigunayat youtube.com/watch?v=M9-CQcD6…

Governments have rarely changed in #WestBengal over the last 50 years. I have never seen a transition with so much fanfare as the one we saw in 2026.
I have never seen any political party disregard the sentiments of its core support base in the state with such nonchalance as the #BJP is doing. The closest parallel is #Tripura.
Unfortunate!

The combined #GSDP of 11 states in the east and the northeast is equivalent to one Maharashtra. #WestBengal is the biggest liability. That is the gift of the #Left_TMC rule. The rest started from a very low base and are now coming up fast.

An year ago, Tulsi Gabbard pointed out sustained atrocities on Hindus and other minorities in #Bangladesh. Rape, killing, forced conversion, land grab and administrative bias and cultural onslaught are normal here.
It was always anti-#Hindu. Persecution of minorities was normalised throughout its existence. All parties were historically responsible for atrocities on Hindus.
But, the last two years were horrible. The arrival of #BNP which was accused of the 2001 riot, didn't help.
Wahabi Islamists are on rampage, unleashing attacks even on minority Muslim sects. Hindus are subjected to unprecedented terror.
With Puja round the corner temple and idol vandalism peaked. Toll stood at 10 an week ago. Today's New Age, reported 4 incidents of vandalism in one district. Actual toll is at least four times higher.

"Why Indian #media stopped writing about sustained abuse of Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh?" Amb Veena Sikri asked in my podcast.
#Bangladesh is witnessing rising exodus of #Hindus after two years of sustained torture.

The more you speak @sagarikaghose, the more you will revive our anger against TMC and the prolonged mis-rule that destroyed all enterprise in the state. So keep speaking. #WestBengal
The GUJARATIFICATION OF BENGAL. Bengal is being Gujaratified under the @BJP4India with the Gujarat combination of hard Hindutva and massive use of coercive state power & danda raj. I write on 5 examples of the Gujaratification of Bengal in my column in @ThePrintIndia. theprint.in/opinion/gujarati…

In #Bangladesh its no more a BNP-Awami League contest. The nationalists who trusted the 1971 identity are rallying behind #Hasina. Huge surge in her popularity. #India failed Bangladeshi #Hindus, if they fail nationalists, Delhi will alienate its natural ally.

"They gave us an airport. It doesn't function," Raju Basnet, education minister #Sikkim on the @AAI_Official developed and "operated" Pakyong #Airport in Gangtok at Digii100 East. How many AAI officials and bureaucrats in the ministry lost job for this mess? Roughly Rs 600 was spent on a technically unviable project. @MoCA_GoI
