Speaking on widespread violence erupting in Bangladesh over the death of Osman Hadi, Former Indian diplomat Suresh K Goel said, "... I had thought that Muhammad Yunus, because of his international repute, would be able to bring Bangladesh polity under control. But clearly his decisions are heavily influenced by other factors... These external factors, which are the growing influence of the jihadist element in Bangladesh, will complicate the politics of Bangladesh quite a bit... The situation in Bangladesh is going to go further down or get far more complex than what we see now."
