Indian visa application centers in Bangladesh will be closed indefinitely due to the unstable situation in the neighboring country, according to India Today.

Applicants have been informed that they will receive updates on the resumption of services via SMS and are advised to collect their passports on the next working day.

The notice states, “All Indian visa application centers will remain closed until further notice due to the current instability. The date for resuming applications will be communicated via SMS, and passport collection is requested on the next working day.”

The student protests in Bangladesh, which initially aimed at removing job quotas for families of independence fighters, have escalated into broader anti-government demonstrations over recent months. This unrest reached a climax on August 4, when former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled to India.

On August 7, the Indian High Commission in Dhaka evacuated non-essential staff and their families via commercial flights, although the diplomatic staff remain at the High Commission, which continues to operate.

In addition to the High Commission in Dhaka, India has assistant high commissions or consulates in Chittagong, Rajshahi, Khulna, and Sylhet.

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar informed Parliament on August 6 that India has been in constant communication with Dhaka authorities and the Indian community in Bangladesh.

“Throughout July, as violence persisted, we continuously urged restraint and advocated for resolution through dialogue. We also communicated these concerns to various political groups,” Jaishankar noted.

He also expressed the expectation that Bangladesh would ensure the necessary security for the Indian consulates in Chittagong, Rajshahi, Khulna, and Sylhet.

Nationwide protests have been ongoing in Bangladesh since June over a job quota bill that reserves positions for families of war veterans, with the unrest intensifying last month.

Muhammad Yunus, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate known for his work with impoverished communities and a critic of the ousted Sheikh Hasina, has been appointed to lead the interim government in Bangladesh.

During an interview with internet personality Adin Ross, Donald Trump revived the unfounded conspiracy theory that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau might be the son of former Cuban President Fidel Castro.

Discussing Canada’s political landscape, Trump remarked, “He’s turned very liberal.” When shown a photo of Trudeau among other world leaders, Trump referenced the conspiracy theory, stating, “They say he’s the son of Fidel Castro and could be. Anything’s possible in this world.” He added, “Anything’s possible in this world, you know.”

Justin Trudeau, born on December 25, 1971, is the son of the late Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau and his wife, Margaret. Pierre Elliott Trudeau visited Cuba for the first time in 1976 with Margaret and their son Michel. Justin Trudeau, who has made personal visits to Cuba, returned to the country as Canadian Prime Minister in November 2016, where he compared his views with those of Trump regarding the socialist-led nation.

Following Castro’s death, Trudeau paid tribute to him, describing him as a “legendary revolutionary and orator” who made significant improvements to Cuba’s educational and healthcare systems, while also acknowledging him as a “controversial figure,” which fueled the conspiracy theories.

The theory was first introduced by a user on the Trump subreddit, /r/The_Donald, according to the fact-checking website Snopes.

In the interview, which aired on the livestreaming platform Kick, Trump stated that he gets along well with Trudeau but criticized him for becoming increasingly progressive, noting that “the people of Canada are not liking it.”

Trump also speculated about the potential success of a conservative leader in Canada, saying, “If they had a good conservative person—which maybe they do, maybe they don’t, I don’t know—but a strong conservative could win Canada. Canada is very unhappy about the way they’ve been treated as people, but I got along with him well.”During an interview with internet personality Adin Ross, Donald Trump revived the unfounded conspiracy theory that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau might be the son of former Cuban President Fidel Castro.
