Dr. Yunus and the Theory Behind a Meticulously Designed Plot

Opinion
First, I would like to mention an issue that some media outlets and citizens in Bangladesh consider the root cause of the current situation—the government job quota system. Bangladesh’s socio-economic structure is highly unequal, where marginalized communities often lag in access to opportunities. To address this inequality, a quota system was introduced in government jobs to ensure proper representation of ethnic minorities, women, and children of freedom fighters. However, after a student movement a few years ago, all forms of quotas were abolished.

After the quota system was reinstated by a court ruling, students launched a movement in July 2024, claiming that it was no longer a symbol of justice; instead, it was creating discrimination and obstructing merit-based evaluation. They demanded the abolition of the quota for children of freedom fighters. Initially, the purpose of the July movement seemed simple and transparent. However, after prolonged observation, the people of Bangladesh now believe that this movement was a cover, aimed at undermining the spirit of the country’s glorious Liberation War.

It was difficult to identify the strategy behind this movement, as cunning and dishonest student leaders cleverly intertwined their activities with national sentiments through a “well-planned” strategy and conspiracy.

In September 2024, at the annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative in the United States, the head of Bangladesh’s caretaker government, Dr. Yunus, acknowledged that the plan to remove Sheikh Hasina from power was meticulously designed. In his words, it was a “meticulously designed plan.”

He said, “It didn’t happen all of a sudden. It was a very meticulously designed issue. No one could even identify who was leading it, so they couldn’t catch them.”

Through this statement, Dr. Yunus hinted at the masterminds behind the conspiracy. He made it clear that some malicious groups were actively conspiring against Bangladesh. However, it is also highly probable that Dr. Yunus was directly involved in this conspiracy and played an active role in the process of removing Sheikh Hasina and her government.

Several pieces of information serve as evidence of Dr. Yunus’s “meticulously planned” conspiracy, one of which includes substantial funding from the United States. In a speech delivered to U.S. governors at the White House in February 2025, President Donald Trump stated that a $29 million project was approved to strengthen Bangladesh’s political infrastructure, and the fund was handed over to an obscure organization with only two employees.

After Sheikh Hasina was removed from power, a U.S. delegation led by Brent Neiman, Deputy Under Secretary of the U.S. Treasury Department, met with Dr. Yunus. Following this, USAID pledged $1 billion in aid for the 2021–2026 period, including an additional allocation of $202 million. However, where and how this money was spent remains unknown.

Some believe Dr. Yunus’s microcredit project under Grameen Bank played a significant role in improving people’s lives. Though this is a debated issue, through Grameen Bank, he built a vast network and lobbied with numerous leaders, some of whom are notorious for controversial activities. Dr. Yunus used the image of Grameen Bank to serve his personal interests. It is also possible that he assisted the conspiracy of the American deep state.

Dr. Yunus has long been a close friend of Bill and Hillary Clinton and a major donor to the Clinton Foundation. While serving as U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton abused her power to approve over $13 million in grants, contracts, and loans for Yunus even after he was ousted from Grameen Bank. This money was funneled through 18 different USAID projects.

Additionally, Hillary Clinton exerted pressure on the ruling government of Sheikh Hasina in Bangladesh to halt ongoing corruption investigations against Dr. Yunus.

During the Padma Bridge project, Hillary Clinton threatened Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina that the World Bank could cancel the approved $1.2 billion loan. Sheikh Hasina disregarded this pressure.

Hungarian-American billionaire George Soros has long been a supporter of Dr. Yunus. The East-West Management Institute is affiliated with Soros’s Open Society Foundation and has received $270 million from USAID.

According to reports, Soros has used this money to spread instability in various countries, including Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Ukraine, Syria, Iran, Pakistan, India, the United Kingdom, the United States, and others. After the change of government in Bangladesh, George Soros’s son and chairman of the Open Society Foundation, Alex Soros, visited Bangladesh twice and met with Dr. Yunus, where they discussed strategies for rebuilding Bangladesh.

These are just a few examples that suggest how Dr. Yunus may have tried to remove Sheikh Hasina from power through a “meticulously planned” conspiracy.
