Bangladesh Violence | “Bangladesh Needs Fair Elections...”: Ex-Maldives VP Faisal Naseem

Bangladesh Violence | “Bangladesh Needs Fair Elections...”: Ex-Maldives VP Faisal Naseem In an exclusive conversation with NDTV’s Aditya Raj Kaul, former Vice President of Maldives Faisal Naseem weighs in on the growing political instability in Bangladesh — from delayed elections and democratic uncertainty to concerns over minority safety and rising radicalisation. Drawing from Maldives’ own democratic transition, Naseem delivers a clear message for Bangladesh’s leadership: power must rest with the people, not any one group. He stresses the need for fair elections, equal opportunity, and inclusive governance as the only path to long-term peace and stability. The interview also touches upon regional security in South Asia, radicalisation challenges, and the responsibility of leaders to engage communities and protect democratic values.
