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.

Elon Musk announces new 'America Party', but can he be US president?
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has announced the formation of a new political outfit—the America Party—with a mission to challenge what he described as a 'one-party system' in the United States. The move, declared on his platform X on July 6, follows a very public split with former ally and US President Donald Trump. 'Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom,' Musk posted on X. 'When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste and graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy.' The announcement has fuelled speculation over Musk's political ambitions, with many pondering whether he intends to contest the 2028 US presidential election. But the question remains - can he? Elon Musk hints at electoral push Responding to a user on X who asked whether he would run in the midterms or in 2028, Musk replied, 'Next year.' While the comment triggered fresh discussion about a possible electoral foray, Musk remains constitutionally barred from seeking the presidency. As per Article II, Section 1 of the US Constitution, only natural-born citizens of the US are eligible for the presidency. Musk, born in South Africa, acknowledged this limitation in 2024, stating, 'I cannot be president because of my African birth.' Despite these constraints, Musk's political rhetoric and public polling suggest he is keen on influencing the American political landscape from outside the traditional Democratic and Republican structures. Elon Musk's fallout with Trump Musk's political move comes after a dramatic fallout with Donald Trump. He was once a close adviser and even led the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) during the initial few months of the Trump administration. Musk also emerged as the largest individual donor to Trump's 2024 campaign. However, the relationship soured over disagreements on Trump's tax and spending bill, which Musk criticised for adding trillions to the federal deficit. The rift culminated in Musk's exit from the DOGE and a series of public jabs between the two. Trump reportedly threatened to review federal contracts awarded to Musk's companies and labelled DOGE 'a monster that may go back and eat Elon". Poll-driven launch for party Musk's decision to float a new party was preceded by a poll posted on July 4 on X, asking users if they wanted 'independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system.' Over 1.2 million users responded, with a 2-to-1 majority in favour. 'By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!' Musk posted on X following the poll. He also shared a meme of a two-headed snake captioned 'End the Uniparty', suggesting bipartisan collusion between Republicans and Democrats in misgovernance. No formal registration yet As of now, there is no formal record of the America Party's registration with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), according to recent filings cited by CNN. Musk has also not revealed where or how the party will be officially registered. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO said the America Party would initially focus on a limited number of House and Senate races in the 2026 midterm elections. He offered few details about its policy platform, apart from describing it as fiscally conservative. Despite the legal bar on his own candidacy, Musk has stated in the past, 'I actually don't want to be president. I want to build rockets and cars.' Still, he indicated he would be willing to assist in governance reform, especially if Trump were re-elected, saying in 2024: 'I'll work hard on the Department of Government Efficiency.'

Delhi HC to deliver verdict on Turkish firm Celebi's plea against security clearance revocation
New Delhi [India], July 6 (ANI): The Delhi High Court is set to pronounce its judgment on Monday in a high-stakes legal battle involving Turkey-based ground handling company Celebi, which has challenged the Union Government's decision to revoke its security clearance over alleged national security concerns. Justice Sachin Datta had reserved the order on May 23 after hearing extensive arguments from Celebi Airport Services India Pvt. Ltd., Celebi Delhi Cargo Terminal Management India Pvt. Ltd., and the Union Government, represented by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta. The case revolves around the aviation regulator BCAS's decision to cancel Celebi's security clearance, which has had a cascading effect on the company's operations across Indian airports, leading to the termination of its contracts with major airport operators, including DIAL, MIAL, and Adani. Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for Celebi, strongly contested the government's move, terming it arbitrary and in violation of due process. He argued that Rule 12 of the Aircraft Rules, 2013, which governs such matters, is binding unless expressly overridden by Parliament. Rohatgi contended that the government failed to follow basic procedural norms--no prior notice was issued, no hearing was conducted, and no reasons were recorded before revoking the clearance. 'The revocation has destroyed our business. Our contracts were contingent on that clearance,' he told the court. He emphasised that while the government has powers to issue directions, those powers do not extend to cancelling or revoking security clearances without adhering to statutory safeguards. Rohatgi also clarified that despite Turkish shareholding, Celebi's workforce is entirely Indian and has no political affiliations. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta defended the revocation, citing national security as paramount. Calling the matter 'sui generis,' Mehta emphasised that the government has plenary powers in matters of national and airport security. He pointed out that Celebi handles sensitive data and has access to critical zones in airports, making rigorous security vetting essential. Mehta disclosed that intelligence inputs raised red flags about Celebi's operations, especially in areas involving passenger and cargo handling. He said such information, being classified, could not be fully shared in court. 'Certain decisions in the interest of national security cannot be disclosed without risking greater harm,' he argued.
