Taslima Nasreen Blames Jihadis for Bangladesh 2024 Student Protest
Taslima Nasreen is a writer who lives in India after leaving Bangladesh.
She said that a big student protest in Bangladesh in 2024 was not really about students, but was led by religious extremists.
The protest caused the government to change.
She thinks this shows how dangerous such protests can be.
Exiled Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen links Delhi CJP protest to 2024 Bangladesh student movement.
Nasreen claims the movement was orchestrated by Islamic fundamentalists, not genuine student demands.
She says the protests led to the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League and a power shift to a Muhammad Yunus‑led interim government.
The 2024 protests caused political uncertainty and raised security concerns for minority communities in Bangladesh.
Nasreen warns the movement should serve as a lesson for future protests.
