This is not how investigative journalism works. “Radical” BNP-Jamayat, BNP is not even radical and in fact it’s by far the most secular party in Bangladesh *right now* and BNP is very centrist, never far-right. If anything exhibited a far-right regime, it was Sheikh Hasina’s 15y tenure, and “elected PM” what? there was no election in 2024, neither in 2018 even, when all of the major opposition parties boycotted due to abolishing the caretaker government in 15th Amendment of the constitution in her attempt to usurp power.
Netra-news, NED or whatever most of the non-state actors you mentioned of, they had very insignificant roles amidst the protest, heck, people didn’t even hear about them let alone stirring up the protest! Not even 1% Bengalis (approximately 2 Million people) even uses Twitter/X, so what are you even on about? The protest gained most of its traction in Facebook, Youtube, IG, and yes Zulkarnaen Saer was definitely pivotal, I will give you that.
*Radical* Hefazat-E-Islam? I personally don’t like Hefazat because of them preying on the illiterate non-progressive under-privileged proletariat Bengali Muslims with their populist-allure but they are far from being the radical Islamist-Jihadists you are making them sound like, rather, they were the victims of the regime. On May 2013, probably, around 1000 Hefazat-E-Islami activists were flatlined by Awami-League’s harsh measures, flattened and curbstomped the road of Shapla-Chottor with their blood, overnight, by the Police, and later fed the bodies into garbage-decomposers in Savar to shred them to nothing, and mind you, the locals of Savar could not sleep for the night due to it reeking of the dead. As much as dubious it may sound, it is an open-secret, any locals in Bangladesh (especially Savar) is aware of this whole event. There are still some videos available, never published in official-news-media during her tenure.
Jamayat-Islami, provided their involvement in the 1971 genocide, stood for farcical trials with many of the witnesses being unavailable and many later claiming to be forced, blackmailed and gaslighted into doing it. Even the the-then Chief-Justice called the ICT a farce.
Sheikh Mujib wasn’t the father of the nation, he was called so by the Awami League. Even the man who gave him the title left him for JSD-party, and he didn’t liberate our nation from Pakistan, heck, he didn’t even want independence, he wanted a Federation with autonomy, at which even his party members were dissatisfied, and also his declaration of independence was Awami-narrative too which has no proof and which only stood because of Sheikh Hasina.
I pity you for believing in Hasina’s narrative of St. Martin Naval-base, like if you are really that naive. It is obvious to any locals that she tried to incite a conspiracy-inciting rhetoric to come out as an unsung/misunderstood/tragic-hero of Bangladesh which most people laugh off but you definitely fell a victim to it because you only followed fascist-bootlicker media narratives which the news-media themselves regret publicly.
While I don’t deny the involvement of US deep-state in the ousting and the protest not being apolitical is definitely not beyond my reckoning, but I am very certain that your extrapolated retconning of the missing pieces of the puzzle with your biased headcanon is very laughable, not just to me, but to every Bangladeshi non-Awami League supporter. Mind you, nothing of your “investigation” is alien, all of these theories appeared only to be ruled out later on.
I really hope your misinformed take is not deliberate, because if it is, it is peak yellow journalism.
