Pre-election political violence continues in Bangladesh following the murder of youth leader Usman Hadi. Azizur Rahman Musabbir, a leader of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP)'s volunteer wing, Swachchhasebak Dal, was murdered on Tuesday night. Police and party sources said that unidentified assailants shot and killed Musabbir in the capital city of Dhaka.
The escalating violence ahead of the national elections scheduled for February 12 in Bangladesh is raising questions about the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus. It is worth noting that Usman Hadi's family members had also accused Yunus of orchestrating his murder to postpone the elections.
