Awami League Rally Raises Concern Over Dr. Yunus’s Security, Security Tightened at Jamuna

Staff Correspondent

Concerns are growing over the security of Chief Advisor Dr. Muhammad Yunus in the backdrop of the Awami League’s ongoing processions across the country. Last Thursday, he inquired about his security arrangements, including at the Jamuna State Guest House, from security agencies and ordered them to be vigilant to increase security in the Jamuna.

Following Dr. Yunus’ request, the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has tightened security for the Chief Advisor in Jamuna. Earlier, security duty was provided in three shifts in Jamuna and general night rounds were conducted across Ramna Division at night. Currently, the security arrangements have been tightened further with four shifts of Force Officer duty and separate check post duty at night.

In addition, three armored personnel carriers (APCs) were on duty in three shifts around the Yamuna, the number of which has now been increased to four.

Although there was no Awami League procession at the tri-border of the Jamuna, the closest one was held in the Bangla Motor area. Still, concerns about Dr. Yunus’s safety have raised some questions. According to political analysts, is Dr. Yunus worried about the possible consequences of the meticulous plan through which he came to power in Bangladesh?

Although most of the top leaders and activists of the Awami League are currently abroad, hundreds of thousands of local leaders and activists have been sent to prison on false charges. Even then, the question of why Dr. Yunus is worried about his safety has sparked discussions in political circles.

Meanwhile, there are rumors that Dr. Yunus has received any information that is unknown to Bangladesh’s intelligence agencies?

Security agencies have not yet commented on this. However, Dr. Yunus’s concerns and the steps to increase security in the Jamuna have shed new light on the political situation in the country. In this situation, political experts believe that Dr. Yunus’s concern about security is not just a matter of personal security, but may be a reflection of the ongoing political unrest in the country. The country is waiting for the situation to become clearer.
