Indian interests at stake as Bangladesh remains tense; court scraps job quota

Bangladesh's Supreme Court has scrapped the student reservation policy, sparking protests and killing at least 114 people. Opposition BNP through the Jamaat-e-Islami has threatened to unseat the Hasina government and has launched a campaign to influence the country's Army to prevent safeguarding the policy. The security establishment is backing Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The Supreme Court's Appellate Division dismissed a lower court order that reinstated the quotas, directing that 93% of government jobs will be open to candidates on merit, without quotas.
