India-Bangladesh ties face fresh strain after former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s first public media interaction since leaving Dhaka in 2024. We examine the diplomatic fallout, Bangladesh’s demand for her extradition, and India’s response. We also track the JPSC recruitment protests in Jharkhand, where students continue to demand a CBI probe into alleged exam irregularities, the political row over Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ programme in Uttar Pradesh, and the Bombay High Court’s conviction of former Tehelka editor Tarun Tejpal in a 2013 sexual assault case. In The Hindu Round-up, we look at the editorial on GST collections and what the latest numbers reveal about India’s economic trajectory.
