The clash underneath

The implicit facts of the violence that broke out in Bangladesh remained almost untold. On the surface, it appeared to be a student movement demanding a reduction in the quota for the children and grandchildren of freedom fighters. I am not repeating the facts about how the students started their protest and began demonstrating across the country. It is also true that during the protest, a large part of the country’s population primarily supported the students' cause. Even some ruling party members sympathized with the protesting students. In the first days of the protest, ruling party leaders reiterated that the decision was pending and that it was now up to the court. But it was obvious to the students that a satisfactory result would not come for them. So, they continued their protest on the streets, insisting that the executive branch should take the decision to reduce the quota. The protesters continued their blockade and obstruction.

New Scheme for the Teachers should be further Discussed

Since June 1st, Dhaka University and other public universities in the country have been observing a comprehensive strike by faculty members demanding the withdrawal of discriminatory 'Certainty Scheme' for public pension, related to inclusion in the Super Grade, independent pay. This strike is being carried out in response to the call of the Bangladesh University Teachers' Federation and the Teachers' Association of Public Universities. As a result, classes and exams at public universities across the country have been suspended since July 1st. Is not the new scheme, really, discriminatory and harmful for the teachers, working in public Universities? Let’s go through the facts.

Hunter Biden’s Conviction and the third world

Hunter Biden, the 54-year-old first son of US sitting President Joe Biden, has been found guilty on all three felony cases against him relating to buying a hand gun while being a user of cocaine as drug. The first two counts were for lying about his drug use on a federal background check form, and the third count was for possessing a gun while addicted to illegal drugs. In his reaction, on Tuesday after the verdict, President Joe Biden said, “I will accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process.” Biden has repeatedly said he would not use the powers of the presidency to pardon a guilty verdict for his son. Biden also said, “As I said last week, I am the president, but I am also a Dad. Jill and I love our son.” No sentencing date is set yet; Hunter Biden could face up to 25 years in prison and a fine of up to $750,000 at sentencing, though he likely will receive far less than the maximum as a first-time offender.

Who won India’s Lok Sabha Election?

Until the evening of June 4th, the counting of Lok Sabha election results in India was underway, but it is now almost complete. The massive seven-phase election began on April 19 and ended last Saturday. The outcome of the election in the world's largest democracy was not unexpected. It clearly favors the BJP-led NDA over the opposition alliance I.N.D.A. The Lok Sabha, constitutionally the House of the People, is the lower house of India's bicameral Parliament, with the upper house being the Rajya Sabha.
