Here are 10 updates on violence in Bangladesh:

Dozens injured in violent clashes again yesterday, one of the deadliest days since the protests began. The death toll was 98 yesterday, rising to about 300 since the protests began in July.

Clashes broke out when protesters taking part in a civil disobedience event demanding the government's resignation were met with resistance from government supporters.

The Bangladesh Ministry of Home Affairs imposed an indefinite nationwide curfew amid violent clashes, and mobile internet access was severely restricted across the country.

A three-day public holiday was declared on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to ensure public safety amid continuing violent protests across the country.

Just a few days ago, more than 200 people were killed in violent clashes between police and mostly student protesters. They demanded the abolition of the controversial quota system that reserved 30 percent of government jobs for relatives of veterans who fought in the 1971 Bangladesh War of Independence.

India called on all its nationals in Bangladesh to be "on high alert" and restrict their movements. "All Indian nationals, including students, residing within the jurisdiction of the Indian High Commissioner for Sylhet are urged to contact this office and remain vigilant. In case of emergency, please contact +88-01313076402," the assistant high commissioner said in a post on X.

UN human rights chief Volker Türk said the "shocking violence" in Bangladesh must end and called on the government to halt violent actions against peaceful protesters. 4,444 rallies that began last month in opposition to public sector job quotas have become the worst unrest in Hasina's 15-year rule and have inspired widespread demands for the 76-year-old prime minister to step down.

The demonstrations have escalated into widespread anti-government protests across Bangladesh. The protests drew people from all walks of Bangladeshi society, including film stars, musicians and singers. Songs calling for support for the community were widely circulated on social media.

Demonstrators rejected Hasina's calls for dialogue to curb the escalating violence and framed their demands as a common demand for the government to resign.

Sources say changes in Wakf law to help women

 

Sources say changes in Wakf law to help women, warn of 'dangerous narrative'

The allegation that the amendments to the Wakf law are a ploy by the government to grab Wakf lands is completely false, sources told NDTV today following certain remarks on the Wakf law. The Islamic Law Board. Officials said the idea behind the changes was to empower distressed Muslim women and children. 4,444 Sources said some Muslim clerics are building a 'dangerous narrative' by making wild allegations that Muslims are being deprived of their land.

The All India Muslim Personal Law Board in a statement today said any changes or amendments to the Wakf law 'will not be tolerated'.

Law Commission spokesman Dr. SQR Ilyas said the government wants to change the status and nature of Wakf properties through amendments to around 40 sections of the Wakf Act, 2013, 'so that it becomes easier to own'.

The Islamic Personal Law Board believes it is important to clarify that waqf properties are "donations made by Islamic philanthropists for religious and charitable purposes," he said. The government has only enacted the waqf law to regulate them.

He added that the issue is not limited to Muslims. There are fears that Sikh and Christian foundations will be affected next.

Sources pointed out that the first waqf law was passed in 1954 and the first amendment was made in 1995 and then in 2013. Now, Muslim women and ordinary Muslims are wondering, "Why is the government not changing the current waqf law?"

Did fired IAS intern Puja Khedkar flee India to Dubai?

 

Did fired IAS intern Puja Khedkar flee India to Dubai? Here's the truth

The fired IAS trainee disappeared fearing arrest, leading authorities to search for Khedkar. She has also reportedly switched off her phone.

Fired IAS intern Puja Khedkar is still in India and has not fled the country, sources said. Earlier reports had said she had fled to Dubai fearing arrest. No immigration records of Khedkar's travels have been found, the official said.

Authorities are searching for Khedkar as the fired IAS trainee has gone missing fearing arrest. She has also reportedly switched off her mobile phone.

"Interrogation of the accused in custody is necessary to unravel the entire conspiracy and to ascertain the involvement of other persons involved in the conspiracy," Additional Judge Devender Kumar Jangara said.

Khedkar, who was not arrested in the case, approached the court through her lawyer and said she was "in imminent danger of arrest."

On Khedkar's contention that she was wrongly implicated in the case and was the victim of a media trial and witch hunt, the judge said this argument was untenable as incriminating material was well preserved. "Hence, reporting of incriminating details on record cannot be considered as a 'media trial' or a 'witch hunt,'" the judge said.

Earlier on Wednesday, the UPSC cancelled Khedkar's provisional candidature and barred her from appearing in future examinations.

On July 18, the UPSC issued a Show Cause Notice (SCN) to Khedkar, a provisionally recommended candidate for the Civil Services Examination-2022 (CSE-2022), for committing fraud beyond what is permitted under the examination regulations by misrepresenting her identity.

She was asked to submit her reply to the SCN by July 25. However, she sought more time till August 4 to collect documents required for her reply, but failed to do so despite the deadline of July 30 for submission of the documents.

Khedkar, a 2023 batch IAS officer, is accused of posing as a candidate from a non-upper caste OBC family while running for the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). She also claimed to be visually and mentally impaired but refused to undergo tests to verify the claims. The UPSC had registered a criminal case against her for allegedly manipulating her identity, including her parents' names, to secure a government job. The Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration, Mussoorie, had sent eight memos to Khedkar citing irregularities during training. These mounting charges against her led to increased pressure to arrest her.

She came into the limelight after reports emerged about her alleged demand for her own office and company car while on duty in Pune and misuse of traffic lights in her personal car. She was subsequently transferred from Pune to Wasim.

FOX News to host debate between President Trump and Kamala Harris on Sep 4

 

On his September 4 debate with Kamala Harris on FOX News: "Looking forward to..."

2024 US elections: "I have agreed with FOX News to debate with Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th," President Donald Trump announced on his Truth Social platform.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said late on Friday that he has agreed to debate his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, on FOX News on September 4th.

"I have agreed with Fox News to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th," President Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

It was not immediately clear whether Harris had agreed to the debate. Trump's post came hours after the vice president secured the Democratic nomination for the November presidential election.

Last month, Trump's White House bid was upended when 81-year-old President Joe Biden, amid growing concerns about his age and falling poll numbers, gave up on reelection and endorsed Harris.

His decision to withdraw came after a disastrous anti-Trump debate on CNN in June. A second Trump-Biden debate was scheduled for September 10 on ABC.

It was scheduled to go ahead as planned, with Harris taking Biden's place, but President Trump's spokesman said last week that it would be "inappropriate" to schedule a debate before Harris is officially the Democratic nominee.

The 78-year-old Republican candidate had previously said he would not debate, as it would be a departure from political tradition, as he is nearly 20 years older than Harris.

The former prosecutor and former attorney general of California challenged President Trump to a personal debate last month.

"Well, Donald, I urge you to think twice about meeting me on the debate stage. As the saying goes, if you have something to say, say it to my face," Harris said at a campaign rally in Atlanta. In a post, President Trump said the debate would take place in Pennsylvania and be moderated by Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum in front of a packed house.

Fox News confirmed that the debate would have an "audience" and would follow similar rules to the CNN debate between Trump and Biden on June 27.

The news station announced that it had invited Trump and Harris to a debate in Pennsylvania in September. "I look forward to meeting and discussing with Kamala Harris on September 4th," Trump said, adding that the date was "convenient and appropriate" as early voting for the presidential election on September 6 approaches.
