Bangladesh faces growing political instability as Jamaat-e-Islami and seven other Islamist parties have issued an ultimatum to the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government, demanding implementation of the July National Charter and a pre-election referendum by November 11. The warning comes amidst deepening divisions between former allies who collaborated to overthrow Sheikh Hasina's democratically elected administration, now disagreeing over the path to the 2026 elections.
