The Bangladeshi Army is seen on the streets of Dhaka, as there is pressure on the Chief Adviser of Bangladesh, Muhammad Yunus, to resign from the post. Protests are going against him at many places, as per reports. Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), which was once a supporter of Yunus, has asked Yunus to immediately give a roadmap for elections.
Muhammad Yunus took charge last August, when student-led protests ousted former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina.
According to reports, BNP will hold an emergency meeting today evening. Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen, jumping into the ongoing controversy in Bangladesh, has said that Muhammad Yunus should not be allowed to resign and go abroad. There were 5 cases going on against him in Bangladesh, which he got closed after coming to power.
Taslima mentioned that he promoted fundamentalism in the country and also handed over Bangladesh’s national assets to other countries. He should answer for all this.
Taslima Nasreen wrote, “I’ve heard that Mr. Yunus is going to resign and will go off to live the rest of his life in comfort in Europe or America. Why should he be allowed to leave? He should be imprisoned. As soon as he entered the country, he had five cases against him dismissed. From his position as Chief Advisor, he incited jihadi militants and mobs to violence, spread hatred and malice to eliminate the opposition, pressed the reset button to provoke the Tawhidi crowd into bloodshed — so many have been harmed, so many lives lost! He must atone for his sins.”

She also mentioned, “In the past nine months, he has given birth to a generation that is frenzied, unstable, irrational, and intolerant. He has unleashed a torrent of unrest in the country, orchestrated jihadi mayhem, destruction, and arson by setting his followers loose. He has imprisoned countless innocent people by framing them in murder cases. He has handed over corridors and ports to foreign military powers and ruined relations with neighboring countries. Should he walk away free without facing any justice for all this? He must be punished for his crimes. He must spend the rest of his life in prison. So many others have been sentenced to life for far less — why should he be spared?”
