Anti India Yunus plans big conspiracy against India, may join hands with this country to open weapon factories, not Pakistan, China, country is....
Dhaka: Amid the ongoing tensions between India and neighbouring Bangladesh, Turkey is going to enter into a strategic defence partnership with Dhaka. As per reports, a top Turkish defence industry official will visit the Middle East country next week, and during the same period, both countries can hold important talks to expand the defence-industry partnership. People familiar with the development have said that Haluk Gorgun, head of Turkey's Defence Industry Agency (SSB), will visit Dhaka on July 8, on a one-day visit. He is scheduled to meet Chief Advisor of the Interim Government Muhammad Yunus. Is Mohammad Yunus Preparing To Enter A Strategic Defence Partnership With Turkey?
It is speculated that Mohammad Yunus is preparing to enter into a strategic defence partnership with Turkey. Notably, the Middle East country helped Pakistan against India during the recent conflict. Haluk Gorgun's visit to Dhaka can not be seen as a normal formal meeting, but through this, Ankara is planning to strengthen its presence in Bangladesh at the strategic level.
As per a report by the Economic Times, Gorgun is scheduled to meet Bangladesh Army Chief General Waqar-uz-Zaman, Navy Chief Admiral M. Nazmul Hasan and Air Chief Marshal Hasan Mahmud Khan. Why Turkey Struggled to Gain Ground in Bangladesh Under Sheikh Hasina?
During Sheikh Hasina's tenure, Turkey did not get any chance to set its foot in the country. But now under the Mohammad Yunus-led government the country has a chance as he supports Erdogan's 'Caliphate rule'. The report states that Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA), which is an apex investment promotion agency, is planning to set up defence industrial complexes in Chittagong and Narayanganj in collaboration with Turkish defence companies.
Notably, BIDA Executive Chairman Chowdhury Ashiq Mahmud Bin Harun recently completed a five-day trip to Turkey. During the visit, he held talks with major Turkish defence companies.
It is worth mentioning that in recent years, Turkish companies have gained global recognition in drone technology, radar systems, missile development and aircraft manufacturing. Does Turkey Want To Be In A Position To Directly Challenge India?
It is believed that Pakistan's friend Turkey, by setting up defence factories in Bangladesh, wants to be in a position to directly challenge India. The Middle East country also wants to sell its defence materials in Asia and African countries.
Bangladesh also wants aerospace collaboration with Turkey. Following a meeting between Bangladeshi Foreign Affairs Advisor Mohammad Tauhid Hussain and Turkish Aerospace Chief Mehmet Demirolu at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum in April 2025, Mohammad Yunus is pursuing an aerospace agreement with Ankara.
During the meeting, both the sides possibilities of cooperation in the field of advanced fighter aircraft, training aircraft and satellite systems. Does Bangladesh Want To Become Turkey's Strategic Partner?
Bangladesh's evolving relationship with Turkey signals a shift beyond a simple buyer-seller dynamic towards a strategic partnership. This development, alongside China's growing influence, suggests Turkey aims to exert pressure on India through Bangladesh. Furthermore, the involvement of the United States in a potential plan to separate Myanmar into a Christian state, with Bangladesh's possible assistance, indicates Bangladesh is becoming a key player in regional geopolitical manoeuvring. This situation raises concerns that Bangladesh could become a battleground for competing global interests, potentially exploited by nations opposed to India.

Himachal: Apple growers welcome Centre's decision to increase Minimum Import Price
Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) [India], July 5 (ANI): Apple growers across Himachal Pradesh on Saturday welcomed the Centre's recent decision to increase the Minimum Import Price (MIP) for imported apples from Rs 50 per kg to Rs 80 per kg. While the move was seen as a positive step to safeguard domestic apple farmers from cheaper imports, especially from Iran and Turkey, concerns were raised about the effectiveness of its implementation on the ground. However, several farmer leaders warned that mere announcements without strict enforcement could render the move ineffective. While speaking to ANI, Harish Chauhan, Convener of the Himachal Pradesh Sanyukt Kisan Manch, said, 'Increasing the MIP to Rs 80 per kg is a welcome step by the Govt of India.' 'We have not received a notification yet, but if this step has been taken, it is welcome. But the bigger thing is whether it will be implemented on the ground,' he added. Chauhan pointed out that in 2023-24, the Centre had announced an MIP of Rs 50 per kg for imported apples. Despite this, Iranian apples landed in India at Rs 41 per kg and Turkish apples at Rs 58 per kg, raising doubts over whether the price control was correctly enforced. 'If the MIP of Rs 50 per kg were implemented on the ground at that time, they would have landed in India at the rate of Rs 85-90 per kg,' Chauhan explained. The Sanyukt Kisan Manch has urged the government to ensure strict monitoring and enforcement of the revised MIP. The group also raised concerns about the upcoming July 9 deadline for reciprocal tariff decisions under the Trump-era trade policies, which may result in zero import duty on agricultural inputs. 'If that happens, we won't benefit from the zero import duty,' Chauhan cautioned. 'We will benefit only if the import duty is 50% and MIP is Rs 80 per kg, and the same is implemented on the ground. Then apples would land at Rs 135-140 per kg in India,' he later added. (ANI)

Delhi Minister Sirsa inaugurates newly constructed road in Rajouri garden
New Delhi [India], July 5 (ANI): Delhi Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Saturday inaugurated the newly constructed road in the Rajouri Garden constituency. 'The people in Rajouri have been suffering from the problem of water supply... no work has been done here in the last five years. The government's mission is to replace the roads, streets, sewage lines...' Sirsa said speaking to the reporters here. Earlier on July 2, Sirsa in a letter to the Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar alleged that Aam Aadmi Party was openly supporting llegal Rohingya & Bangladeshi immigrants. 'From legitimising encroachments to provoking anarchy, Arvind Kejriwal is playing with Delhi's safety and India's sovereignty,' Sirsa wrote on X, sharing the letter. In his letter, Manjinder Sirsa said that the efforts of the Aam Aadmi Party to protect illegal immigrants and thus attack this very idea of Citizenship are nothing but a travesty of the Constitution of India and a betrayal of the hopes and aspirations of the citizens of this great nation. 'As proof of my statement, I would like to draw your attention to the activity of the AAP, which recently organised a protest at Jantar Mantar in open support of illegal Rohingya and Bangladeshi Muslims residing in Delhi, opposing all lawful efforts to identify and remove such illegal entrants from the national capital. This action has caused serious concern among responsible citizens,' Sirsa said. He alleged further that by backing these illegal Rohingya and Bangladeshi Muslims, the AAP is deliberately obstructing lawful procedures meant to protect national security, internal security and the Constitution. 'It is also endangering the safety and dignity of Delhi's daughters and women. Their actions seem more focused on political appeasement and show their total disregard for the Constitution of India and are devoid of even an iota of care towards the true citizens of our great country,' Manjinder Sirsa said. 'It is also important to highlight that Arvind Kejriwal himself had earlier facilitated these illegal settlements by providing them with jhuggis and promising Rs 10,000 per month assistance. Now, when steps are being taken to remove these unauthorised occupants, AAP is once again creating a narrative in their favour, against the interest of real residents of Delhi and citizens of this country,' Sirsa said in his letter to the Election Commission. Sirsa urged the CEC Gyanesh Kumar to take immediate cognisance of AAP's repeated and deliberate violations. 'Therefore, I urge the Election Commission of India to take immediate cognisance of these repeated and deliberate violations and initiate steps against the Aam Aadmi Party under provisions applicable to political parties promoting divisiveness, threatening national unity, encouraging illegal activities, and engaging in unconstitutional activities,' the Delhi Minister said.
