Bangladesh, once celebrated for its secular democratic values and resilience against religious extremism, is now veering dangerously close to an Islamist abyss under the shadow regime of Muhammad Yunus.

Over the past eleven months, the so-called Yunus regime has quietly executed a sweeping transformation of the country’s internal security apparatus. A staggering 17,000 new recruits have been absorbed into the police, border guard, and coast guard – many of whom, according to credible reports, hail from hardline Islamist backgrounds. The move has drawn little scrutiny, but the implications are monumental.

Disturbingly, some of these new officers lack even the basic training required to function within a disciplined force – unable to perform simple protocols such as saluting. This signals not only a collapse in institutional standards but also the deliberate Islamization of Bangladesh’s security forces. In essence, Bangladesh’s internal machinery is being recast in a militant Islamist mold.

What’s more alarming is the growing influence of radical clerics within this transformation. One of the chief ideological allies of Muhammad Yunus is Mufti Fazlul Karim, the pir of Chormonai and head of Islami Shashontontro Bangladesh – a movement that envisions replacing democracy with Islamic Sharia governance. Mufti Karim has made brazen public declarations about turning Bangladesh into “Afghanistan under the Taliban”, stating that Hindus may enjoy rights only if they “abide by Sharia law”. This is not a fringe voice anymore. It is a voice that now echoes in the corridors of power.

Strangely – or........
