Morning, people. Did you know Palak is actually a lawyer by profession?👨🏻‍⚖️

Well, yesterday in court, he asked for five law books to be sent to his cell—including one he wrote himself: "জাতীয় সংসদে: জুনায়েদ আহমেদ পলক". Why? Like many of us, he kinda forgot his major.
So hey, stop the faki-baji and hit the books properly. My man’s doing it. You can too. 😅

🚧 Why Are Secretariat Employees Protesting?

For the third day in a row, government employees across various ministries are staging protests at the Secretariat, demanding the immediate repeal of the Public Service (Amendment) Ordinance, 2025. The new law, issued last week by the interim government, makes it easier to punish public employees for misconduct.

Punishable Offenses Under the Ordinance:

• Disobedience and obstruction of work

• Being absent from work, individually or collectively

• Inciting others not to attend work

• Preventing others from doing their duties

Possible Punishments:

• Reduction in salary or rank

• Dismissal from service

• Removal from employment

Employees are to be given a 7-day notice to explain their actions. However, the President’s decision will be final and cannot be appealed. Protesters claim the ordinance is authoritarian, undemocratic, and poses a direct threat to their job security and freedom of expression.

If the law remains in place, it could have a chilling effect on dissent within government ranks. However, if protests continue to grow, pressure may build for dialogue or revisions. In the meantime, the Secretariat remains in a near-lockdown state.

I AM A NERD 🤓

What is existentialism? A chair — it’s built with a purpose in mind: to be sat on. But you? You weren’t built with any preset purpose. There’s no divine reason or absolute plan. You just… exist.
You’re not Batman, nor a digital nomad. You’re a person. That’s it. Life isn’t what happens to you, It’s what you do. Person first, purpose later.

Okay, I’ve said enough. Ask Kierkegaard, Sartre, or Camus — they started this whole thing.

📲 “Nagorik Seba Bangladesh” just launched to bring government services right to your doorstep. Pilot centers in Gulshan, Uttara, and Neelkhhet are now up and running, where trained local entrepreneurs provide everything from passports to tax filing. The goal is to cut out middlemen, simplify access, and boost economic opportunities for youth and women through a tech-driven, community-powered platform.

🔄 Bangladesh Bank will merge six troubled banks by July, taking temporary government ownership to stabilize them and fix massive capital shortfalls— First Security Islami, Social Islami, Union, Global Islami, Exim, and National. Using new legal powers, the central bank aims to clean up the sector, improve governance, and eventually hand the banks back to public and strategic investors.

🤝 Brigadier General Md. Nazim-ud-Doula, has clarified  “no conflict or disagreement with the government.” On issues such as the humanitarian corridor, Kuki-Chin insurgents, and border pushback, the military and government are working closely and remain united in protecting the country’s sovereignty. Also stated that it acts under government directives and will continue to do so on sensitive matters, including the corridor.

⚖️ High Court dismissed a petition challenging several controversial recommendations of the Women Reform Commission, ruling that the proposals have not yet been implemented. The petition argued these recommendations conflict with Islamic law and the constitution, but the court stated legal challenges can proceed only if the government enforces them.

🥴 President Trump called Putin “absolutely crazy” after Russia’s massive aerial attacks on Ukraine and said he is considering imposing more sanctions on Moscow. He also criticized Ukrainian President Zelenskiy for his public statements, saying they cause problems. Meanwhile, the Kremlin dismissed Trump’s comments as emotional overload, and Ukraine’s allies, including Germany, are increasing military support amid ongoing intense fighting.

❌ Trump is considering redirecting $3 billion in federal research grants from Harvard to U.S. trade schools, escalating his administration’s ongoing conflict with the university. Harvard calls the funding cuts unconstitutional and is fighting back legally, while most of the grants support biomedical research not typically done at trade schools.

🚩 Palestinian official said Hamas accepted a U.S.-backed proposal for a Gaza ceasefire involving a 70-day truce and the release of 10 Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and partial Israeli withdrawal. However, both U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Israeli officials rejected the claim, saying the proposal was neither U.S.-sponsored nor acceptable, while the ethnic cleansing & humanitarian toll in Gaza continues to rise.
