Tokens for UN Secretary-General AntΓ³nio Guterres' iftar party are being distributed.
Head Majhees across the camps are selectively handing out tokens to educated youth, imams, and others to take part in the event in Camp 20. This has sparked widespread speculation about who is being included or excluded and whether armed groups, given their recent prominence in public events, will also be invited.
Women were initially invited, but their numbers have since been significantly reduced, leaving only token representation. Reports suggest that Bangladesh army organisers claimed women would become weak due to Ramadan, leading to this decision. Hopefully, this is just a rumour.
Additionally, mobile phones and cameras will not be permitted at the event. The tokens are signed by the camp-in-charge.
