  • Bangladesh coup update

    Bangladesh coup update

    Bangladesh coup occurred yesterday evening on the 5th of August 2024. Because of the deteriorating situation and the coup in the neighbouring country Bangladesh, the Central Government of India has also become alert.

    Bangladesh has been experiencing significant unrest for the last month. Due to the reinstatement of a job quota system favouring the children of independence war veterans. Initially, it was cancelled in 2018 after large protests. The system was reinstated in June 2024. After the Supreme Court increased the quota from 5% to 30%. This sparked widespread opposition and violence.

    The unrest has resulted in over 500 deaths and thousands of injuries. Authorities have imposed nationwide curfews, internet blackouts, and bans on public gatherings to control the situation. Protests have been concentrated in major urban areas like Dhaka, Chattogram, and Rangpur, often involving violent clashes with police.

    During Bangladesh coup

    Sheikh Hasina Resigned

    The protesters started demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. On this, Sheikh Hasina’s government announced a curfew in Bangladesh till July 20. Due to this, the rioters became more aggressive. In such a situation, the government started arresting and imprisoning the protesters.

    After this, the United Nations intervened in this matter and said that the people of Bangladesh should not be tortured. With the support of the UN, the protesters gained more courage and the demonstrations became more intense. They intensified their demand for the resignation of the Prime Minister.

    Seeing the situation worsening, Sheikh Hasina resigned on Monday evening and left Dhaka and came to India. She resigned and came to India to save her life. Her plane landed at Hindon Air Base of the Air Force in Ghaziabad, UP at 5.30 pm on Monday. Here she was received by the country’s National Security Advisor Ajit Doval.

    Information has come to light that Sheikh Hasina will take refuge in England after ending her political innings. Sources say that Sheikh Hasina is preparing to go to London. The former Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina has sought asylum from the Government of England.

    History of Bangladesh coup

    The history of coups in Bangladesh is marked by political instability and military interventions since its independence in 1971. Here is an overview of the major coups and attempted coups in the country’s history:

    Bangladesh coup in 1975

    1 August 15, 1975, Coup: The first major Bangladesh coup occurred on August 15, 1975. At that time a group of junior army officers assassinated the country’s founding leader, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, along with most of his family members. This coup led to the installation of Khondaker Mostaq Ahmad as the president. This event profoundly affected the nation’s political landscape and set a precedent for future military interventions.

    2 November 3, 1975 Jail Killing: Following the August coup, four senior Awami League leaders, who had been arrested, were murdered in Dhaka Central Jail. This was part of a conspiracy to consolidate power among the new rulers.

    3 November 7, 1975 Coup: Known as the “Sipahi-Janata Biplob” (Soldiers and People’s Revolution), this coup saw the overthrow of Mushtaq Ahmad by a counter-coup led by Brigadier Khaled Mosharraf. However, within days, Khaled Mosharraf was killed. Afterwards, the army chief, Major General Ziaur Rahman, took control, becoming the de facto leader of Bangladesh.

    1981 Coup Attempt

    May 30, 1981 Assassination of Ziaur Rahman: President Ziaur Rahman was assassinated in Chittagong by a group of army officers led by Major General Manzoor. The coup attempt failed, and Vice President Justice Abdus Sattar took over as acting president. The political environment remained volatile, with numerous uprisings and attempted coups continuing in the background​.

    1982 Coup

    March 24, 1982: Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Hussain Muhammad Ershad led a bloodless coup, overthrowing the elected president Abdus Sattar. Ershad declared martial law and assumed the presidency, ruling Bangladesh for almost nine years until he was forced to resign in December 1990 due to mass protests and a popular uprising.

    Recent Political Instability in Bangladesh due to coup

    While there have been no successful coups in recent years, Bangladesh has experienced significant political turmoil, often involving violent protests, hartals (strikes), and confrontations between political parties. The military remains an influential force, with occasional rumours of coups, although none have materialized since Ershad’s ousting.

    Yesterday, Bangladesh Army Chief Wakar-uz-Zaman also gave an ultimatum to Sheikh Hasina to resign from the post of PM and leave the country. In such a situation, Sheikh Hasina has resigned from the post of PM and has left the country with her sister Sheikh Rehana and come to India. Minutes after she left Dhaka, protesters attacked her residence and engaged in vandalism. Protesters stormed the gates of the Gono Bhaban (PM’s residence) and entered the premises around 3:00 pm. They started looting the expensive items as well as common things in the PM house.

    In such a situation, Bangladesh will now be ruled by the army under the leadership of Waqar-uz-Zaman. As per the media report, Army Chief is going to form the Interim government within 24 to 48 hours. He has called on the public to maintain faith in the military and to remain peaceful. Army chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman, the head of the navy and air force, and top leaders of several opposition parties, including the BNP and the Jamaat-e-Islami party, attended the president’s meeting.

    According to reports, it was alleged that the Opposition BNP (Bangladesh Nationalist Party) conspired with Pakistan’s ISI to foment unrest and overthrow Hasina, who is considered to be pro-India, while Zia is seen as pro-Pakistan. Bangladesh’s President Mohammed Shahabuddin has ordered the release of jailed former Prime Minister and key opposition leader Khaleda Zia.

    India alert after rebellion in Bangladesh

    Given the deteriorating situation and the coup in the neighbouring country Bangladesh, the Central Government has also become alert. The government has issued a special warning for the northeastern states along the border with Bangladesh.

    Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was welcomed by India’s National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and senior Air Force officials on her arrival at Hindon Air Force Station in Uttar Pradesh. During this, there was a long conversation between Hasina and Doval.

    PM Modi chairs key meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) over Bangladesh unrest. Foreign Minister Jaishankar, NSA Doval and senior ministers attended this meeting. The Indian government is closely monitoring the rapidly evolving situation in Bangladesh.

    Foreign Minister Jaishanker informed about the Bangladesh coup in the Rajya Sabha. He further said that they are closely monitoring the situation. Moreover, the government is in contact with Bangladesh Army officials and our diplomates. The High Commission in Dhaka and Assistant High Commissions in Chittagong, Rajshahi, Khulna, and Sylhet are there and in contact with Indian nationals.

    On the other hand, because of the incident in Bangladesh, the Border Security Force (BSF) has increased vigil on the 4096 km long India-Bangladesh Border. BSF has issued a high alert for all its units. Meanwhile, BSF Acting Director General (DG) Daljit Singh Chaudhary and other senior commanders have reached Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal, to review the security situation.

    Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma has also released a video saying that we have imposed prohibitory orders on the border from Monday night.

    Chief Minister of Bengal Mamta Banerjee agreed to follow the decision by the central government in this regard. Moreover, she requested with hand fold to the leaders not to give controversial statements about the Bangladesh coup.

    Easier to monitor

    The Transport Department believes that the installation of a high-security number plate will make it easier to develop an intelligent transport system. With this, monitoring through e-challan, pollution, insurance and GPS systems will be done easily.

    Furthermore, tracing suspicious vehicles will also become easier. Apart from this, it will also provide the facility to trace locations in real time. A high-security number plate is laser-coated. Moreover, its safe lock cannot be opened. It can be removed only after breaking. In such a situation, if the vehicle is stolen and the thief drives or sells the vehicle with fake license plates, he will be caught.

    What is a high-security number plate?

    A high-security number plate (HSRP) is a vehicle registration plate that is designed to offer enhanced security features. Thus reducing the risk of car theft and fraud. These plates are often mandated by governments in various countries to ensure better vehicle identification and to streamline the registration process. Here are some key features of high-security number plates:

    1. Reflective Sheeting: HSRPs are made using reflective sheeting that improves visibility in low-light conditions and during the night.
    2. Unique Laser Code: Each plate has a unique laser-engraved code that is difficult to tamper with or replicate, making it easier to trace and identify vehicles.
    3. Hologram: A chromium-based hologram is embedded into the plate to prevent counterfeiting and ensure authenticity.
    4. Hot Stamping: The registration number and letters are hot-stamped into the plate to prevent easy removal or tampering.
    5. Snap Lock: These plates often come with a snap-lock mechanism. Thus making it difficult to remove the plate without breaking it, thereby deterring theft.
    6. Centralized Record: Information about the plate and the vehicle is stored in a centralized database. Which can be accessed by law enforcement agencies for verification and tracking purposes.

    The adoption of a high-security number plate can vary by region. Some countries make it mandatory for all vehicles, while others may require it only for new registrations. In Rajasthan, it is been made compulsory to install till the 10th of August 2024.

  • CEO of Telegram claims to have 100 biological kids

    CEO of Telegram claims to have 100 biological kids

    CEO of Telegram Pavel Durov recently revealed that he has over 100 biological children. Pavel Durov is also the founder of Telegram. He co-founded the company in 2013 alongside his brother Nikolai Durov. Pavel Durov is also known for founding the popular Russian social network VKontakte (VK) before establishing Telegram. Furthermore, Telegram is known for its focus on speed, security, and privacy, which has made it a popular messaging app worldwide.

    He shared it with his 5.7 million subscribers on his messaging app Telegram. Furthermore, he said “I was just told that I have over 100 biological children. How is this possible for a guy who has never married and prefers to live alone?”

    Pavel Durov said that about 15 years ago, a friend made a “strange request” to him. Pavel said, “His friend said that he and his wife could not have children due to fertility issues and asked me to donate sperm to a clinic to have a child. I started laughing before realizing he was earnest.

    Unique Ideas

    Sperm donation is a civic duty.

    CEO of Telegram Pavel Durov said the clinic boss told him there was a shortage of “high-quality donor material.” The doctor further said it is the 39-year-old man’s “civic duty to donate more sperm anonymously to help more couples.”

    Durov continued, “It felt so strange that it inspired me to sign up for sperm donation. Fast forward to 2024, my previous charity activity has helped over a hundred couples in 12 countries have children. Furthermore, many years after I stopped donating sperm as a donor, at least one IVF clinic still has my frozen sperm available for anonymous use on behalf of families who want to have children.”

    The CEO of Telegram played his part.

    The CEO of Telegram said he now plans to open-source his DNA. So that his biological children can find each other. Durov discussed the importance of healthy sperm, saying that he was proud that he did his duty. Of course, there are risks, but I don’t regret being a donor. The lack of healthy sperm has become a serious issue around the world, and I’m proud to have played my part in helping reduce it.

    Further, he said I want to help debunk the whole notion of sperm donation and encourage more healthy men to do it. So that families struggling to have children can enjoy more options. “Disregard tradition – redefine the norm,” he wrote on Telegram.

    The Globe and Mail

    Number of children of the CEO of Telegram

    The CEO of Telegram shared the post regarding his number of children. Since sharing this post, his post has been viewed by more than 18 lakh people. A screengrab of one of his posts was shared on X (formerly Twitter), where many people had different reactions to it.

    One user said, “Tech CEOs’ new vanity hobby seems to be competing on the number of offspring they can claim – without ever loving them or being in their lives.”

    Another said, “The funniest thing is, some of his donated sperm are still left and preserved in a facility.”

    One more user said “This is what happens when you “donate” your sperm to IVF clinics.” “I don’t understand how this can be seen as a victory.”
