Bangladesh bars teachers supporting Hasina from teaching

In Bangladesh, the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus has taken a controversial step against teachers at Dhaka University. Many of these teachers have been barred from conducting classes. The government claims they supported former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina during protests last year. Around 50 teachers from various departments have been labeled as "undesirable" by the government. This decision came after an uprising in July. Although the university formed committees to investigate the allegations, the teachers have not resumed their classes for several months. Additionally, on Monday, the university suspended 128 students for their role in attacks on protesting peers during the same protests. Most of these students were linked to the Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), the student wing of Sheikh Hasina's Awami League party. The Yunus government previously lifted a ban on the Jamaat-e-Islami party and its youth branch after taking power. This party had been banned under the Anti-Terrorism Act last year. The current situation highlights ongoing tensions within the educational and political landscape in Bangladesh.
