The US Secretary of State has honored the courageous women of Bangladesh’s July-August 2024 movement with the prestigious International Women of Courage (IWOC) Award.

A group of fearless women who took part in the July-August 2024 protests has been recognized with the US State Department’s ‘International Women of Courage’ Award. They have been honored with the ‘Madeleine Albright Honorary Group’ award, named after the former US Secretary of State from the 1990s.

The US State Department announced the recipients of the IWOC Award on Friday, US time. The official award ceremony will take place on Tuesday at the State Department, where Secretary of State Marco Rubio and First Lady Melania Trump will host the annual event.

According to the State Department, these courageous women played a leading role in the student protest movement against violent repression in Bangladesh during July and August 2024. Despite facing threats, violence, and strong opposition from security forces and male protesters, they continued to stand firm. When their male counterparts were arrested, these women devised innovative ways to maintain communication and leadership, even overcoming censorship and internet blackouts. Their resilience and selfless determination in the face of uncertainty embody the true spirit of courage.

Israel Resumes Airstrikes on Gaza as Ceasefire Talks Collapse

Gaza City – Israel has launched intense airstrikes across Gaza, killing at least 402 Palestinians, after negotiations to extend the ceasefire broke down. The assault, described as the heaviest since January, shattered a brief period of calm during Ramadan and raised concerns about a full-scale escalation in the ongoing 17-month war.

Major Developments:

Israeli Strikes Intensify: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the airstrikes, citing Hamas' refusal to release hostages and stalled diplomatic efforts. Officials described the operation as open-ended and warned it could expand further.

High Civilian Casualties: Gaza's Health Ministry reported that hospitals are overwhelmed with casualties, including women and children. A single airstrike on a home in Rafah killed 17 members of the same family.

Hamas Accusations: Hamas accused Israel of violating the truce and endangering hostages, urging mediators to intervene.

US Backs Israel: The White House supported the strikes, blaming Hamas for rejecting a deal to extend the ceasefire.

Domestic Pressure on Netanyahu: The Israeli leader faces mounting protests over his handling of the war and the hostage crisis, as well as his controversial decision to fire the head of Israel’s internal security agency.

Ceasefire Talks Breakdown

The ceasefire, which began in January, had resulted in the release of 25 Israeli hostages in exchange for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. However, negotiations for a second phase collapsed, with Hamas demanding a full Israeli withdrawal and Israel insisting on dismantling Hamas before ending military operations.

As aid remains blocked, millions of Palestinians face worsening humanitarian conditions. With escalating violence and uncertainty, concerns grow over a prolonged and deadlier offensive in the coming weeks.

Student Arrested for Offering Namaz on UP University Campus Amid Protests

Meerut, Uttar Pradesh – A student at IIMT University in Meerut was arrested for allegedly offering namaz in an open area on campus, sparking protests from local Hindu groups. The incident gained attention after a video of the prayer circulated on social media during Holi celebrations.

The student, identified as Khalid Pradhan (also known as Khalid Mewati), was suspended by the university administration, along with three security personnel. The university stated that the prayer was conducted without prior permission, and the video’s circulation appeared to disrupt communal harmony. Following a complaint filed by a local individual named Kartik Hindu, the police registered a case under Section 299 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which deals with deliberate acts meant to outrage religious feelings, along with provisions of the Information Technology (Amendment) Act, 2008.

Despite the controversy, Holi celebrations at the university continued peacefully, with the Uttar Pradesh administration implementing heightened security measures. The incident has reignited discussions about religious freedom and communal harmony within educational institutions, emphasizing the need for clear policies regarding religious practices on campuses to prevent such conflicts in the future.

Mosques in India Covered with Tarpaulin Ahead of Holi Festival

Ahead of the Holi festival, authorities in India have initiated a measure to cover mosques with tarpaulin to maintain peace and order. Holi, which begins on Friday, March 14, coincides with Friday prayers during Ramadan, prompting officials to take precautions.

In Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh, police have announced that 10 mosques along the Holi procession route, including the historic Jama Masjid, will be covered with plastic sheets and tarpaulin. According to the police, this step aims to ensure both religious events proceed without disruption.

Sambhal Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Shrish Chandra stated that the decision was reached through mutual agreement between both communities, and plastic coverings will be provided to all religious sites along the procession route. Sambhal Sub-Divisional Magistrate Vandana Mishra added that officials have been assigned to different mosques, and the district has been divided into multiple sectors to ensure a peaceful celebration of Holi.

Tensions have been present in Sambhal since November last year, following a court-ordered survey of the Jama Masjid, with claims that the mosque was built on the remnants of a Hindu temple. Protests against the survey escalated into widespread unrest.

The issue has gained further attention after a controversial statement by Sambhal police officer Anuj Kumar Chowdhury, who advised Muslims to stay indoors during Holi. His remarks were later endorsed by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Anuj stated, "Holi comes once a year, while Friday prayers occur 52 times a year. If Muslims do not want colors on them, they should stay at home."

The statement has sparked reactions from various political leaders. BJP leader Raghuraj Singh sarcastically suggested that Muslim men wear tarpaulin as hijabs to avoid color during Holi, while the mayor of Darbhanga, Bihar, proposed a two-hour break from Holi celebrations for Friday prayers.

These developments have stirred debates over religious harmony and public order as India prepares for Holi celebrations.

Commemorating the Battle of Badr: A Testament to Divine Victory

On this day, we remember the historic Battle of Badr, where under the leadership of the greatest guide,prophet Sayyidunā Muḥammad ‎Peace be upon him and his 313 devoted companions—despite fasting—secured a miraculous victory against an army of 1,000. This extraordinary event stands as a powerful testament to the Might and Majesty of Allāh. Through the courage and unwavering faith of these warriors, we are blessed today with the light of Islām, the ultimate truth and the only path to salvation.

Throughout the night before the battle, the Prophet of Allāh ‎ﷺ remained in his tent, weeping and calling upon his Lord with profound sincerity. He raised his noble hands in supplication, pleading:

“O Allāh, if this small group (313 men) is destroyed, then no one will remain to worship You on this earth.” [Muslim]

The Battle of Badr is one of the most significant moments in human history, cementing Islām as the eternal faith for all of mankind. We owe an immeasurable debt to the noble Ṣaḥāba, who selflessly sacrificed everything for their beloved Prophet ‎ﷺ and the preservation of this divine mission.

May Allāh Taʿālā grant us the honor of the Prophet’s intercession and bless us to serve the legacy of the warriors of Badr, following in their footsteps with sincerity and devotion.

Statement of the Bangladesh Interim Government Chief Adviser's office :

Bangladesh Interim Government's reaction to comments made by DNI Tulsi Gabbard

DHAKA, March 17: We note with deep concern and distress the remarks made by DNI Tulsi Gabbard, in which she alleged “persecution and killing” of religious minorities in Bangladesh and that “the threat of Islamic terrorists” in the country is “rooted” in the “ideology and objective” to “rule and govern with an Islamist caliphate." This statement is both misleading and damaging to the image and reputation of Bangladesh, a nation whose traditional practice of Islam has been famously inclusive and peaceful and that has made remarkable strides in its fight against extremism and terrorism.

Gabbard's comments are not based on any evidence or specific allegations. They paint an entire nation with a broad and unjustified brush. Bangladesh, like many countries around the world, has faced challenges of extremism, but it has continuously worked in partnership with the international community, including the US, to address these issues through law enforcement, social reforms, and other counterterrorism efforts.

Groundlessly linking Bangladesh to the idea of an "Islamist caliphate” undermines the hard work of countless Bangladeshis and their friends and partners around the world who are committed to peace, stability, and progress. Bangladesh strongly condemns any efforts to link the country to any form of “Islamist caliphate”.

Political leaders and public figures should base their statements, especially about the most sensitive issues, on actual knowledge and take care not to reinforce harmful stereotypes, to fan fears and potentially even stoke sectarian tensions.

In support of our shared global efforts to combat extremism and terrorism, the Interim Government of Bangladesh remains committed to engaging in constructive dialogue based on facts and on respect for the sovereignty and security of all nations.

Kae Asakura, formerly known as Rae Lil Black in the Japanese adult film industry, announced her conversion to Islam following a visit to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 2024.

She shared her spiritual journey through TikTok and an interview with Singaporean podcaster Dzar Ismail, describing the experiences that led her to embrace the faith.

During her time in Kuala Lumpur, Asakura visited mosques and engaged with the local Muslim community while wearing a hijab. She was deeply touched by their kindness and hospitality. “They were so nice to me. They welcomed me with open arms. So, I was like, ‘Okay, these people are so nice. Why don’t I try to understand their culture?’” she recalled.

Asakura also documented her first experience of fasting during Ramadan, sharing it with her online followers. However, some skeptics accused her of merely creating content for attention rather than genuinely observing the fast—an allegation she firmly denied.

Amidst Disappointment, Some Good News to Share about Interim Government of Bangladesh

In the midst of challenges and uncertainty, it's refreshing to highlight some positive developments from the past few days. Good news from the country is always welcome, and here are some significant updates:

Under Dr. Yunus' interim government, 62,000 crore taka of domestic and foreign debt has been repaid in just six months.

Remittance inflows have surged to $18.49 billion, marking a $4 billion increase compared to the same period last year.

The country’s reserves have risen by 2,140 crore taka.

A total of 635 crore taka has been recovered from the accounts of Hasina and her family.

Food subsidies have been increased by approximately 12%, easing the burden on citizens.

The feared surge in Ramadan food prices has been effectively controlled by the interim government.

Inflation hit its lowest level in 22 months in February.

A new directive mandates that r**e cases be investigated within 15 days and trials be concluded within 90 days.

FIFA has lifted its ban on the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF), imposed due to financial scandals during the previous Awami League administration.

The UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, is set to visit Bangladesh for four days—a testament to the growing international recognition of this government’s efforts.

While many are quick to criticize or call for early elections, BNP's leadership understands the immense challenges of rebuilding an economy left in turmoil. Without controlling inflation and stabilizing commodity prices, even a new government would struggle to sustain itself.

Dr. Yunus and his team are working tirelessly to repair the damage and steer the country in a better direction. Despite the difficulties, progress is being made. Let’s acknowledge these efforts and extend our support.
