Ayna Ghor Exhibition: Yunus Humiliates and Criminalizes the Army

Opinion

The incident that Dr. Yunus and his associates orchestrated the day before yesterday regarding the so-called “Ayna Ghor” is something I, as a citizen of this country, cannot accept in any way. I am simultaneously shocked, angry, pained, ashamed, heartbroken, and humiliated.

Since the inception of the state system thousands of years ago, armies have existed. In other words, the army is a symbol of an independent and sovereign nation. What I mean to say is that the army represents the sovereignty of a country. In the modern era, the honor and importance of the army have multiplied manifold because the risks to a nation’s independence, sovereignty, and citizens’ security have increased exponentially.

Individuals who threaten the existence of the state, endanger the lives of citizens, destroy the economic and other foundations of the nation, or belong to ruthless, banned terrorist and militant organizations, foreign spies, or groups aiming to destroy society and civilization—are apprehended by state agencies. These individuals are interrogated through extensive investigations and remands.

Therefore, every state, at all levels, has its own highly sophisticated and secretive remand centers. Across Europe, America, and the world, every country has such secret and horrifying remand cells—comparable to hell. It is in these places that such demons, who seek to destroy society, the state, and civilization, are held and interrogated for information.

Since the dawn of civilization, armies and their associated institutions have existed and will continue to exist. However, Dr. Yunus, driven solely by his vindictiveness and desire to undermine his opponents for political gain, has exposed the sensitive and secretive parts of the Bangladesh Army’s intelligence wing to the public and global media. This is unbelievable and constitutes a grave betrayal of the Bangladesh Army and the nation’s sovereignty.

That said, I do not deny that if anyone within these state institutions has violated the law or committed crimes, there are legal mechanisms and judicial processes to address such actions. However, Dr. Yunus and his associates, by breaking their oath to the state, have committed a self-destructive act of betrayal against the army and the sovereignty of Bangladesh. For this, they will be remembered in history as the most despicable individuals, condemned by the masses.

These pro-Pakistan elements, in reality, do not respect or acknowledge Bangladesh’s independence and sovereignty. They still say, “If one Pakistan is broken, it will be rejoined”—they are the planners of this. They are walking steadfastly toward that goal. It is they who have disrespected and humiliated our army at home and abroad. They have tarnished the image of the Bangladesh Army, the symbol of our sovereignty, and are pushing it to the brink of destruction.

To them, I say: Can they enter the secret and sensitive organs of their “beloved country, dream country, fatherland,” the militant and terrorist state of Pakistan? Can they tour these facilities, take pictures, publish them in newspapers, and post selfies with their families on Facebook? Will anyone answer these questions?
