Brief Yunusnama

Opinion

Today, the terror of crematoriums is in Sonar Bangla. There is no hope of coming out of the house and returning unharmed. Death is lurking in every town and village. From the metropolis to the village, a chilling fear has gripped Bangladesh everywhere. A year ago, the country that the world looked up to with respect as a miracle of growth, in just nine months of destruction, the occupying Dr. Yunus is taking that country to the destination of Afghanistan and Iraq. Behind the mirage of the magic of imagination that he has led the country’s young, tender students, there is no more dream in their eyes. But why?

Bangladesh is about to become a victim of the interests of the superpowers. The ‘meticulous design’ of the defeated forces of 1971, domestic fanatic reactionary groups, and groups eager to sell out their own country under the guise of geopolitics, has been exposed today.

Others:

Leasing Chittagong port to foreigners, giving so-called humanitarian corridors in Rakhine. Increasing ISI activities inside the country. The arrogance of the opponents of independence. Today, no one is safe in the country, no one is at peace. There is nothing left to say about human rights.

What kind of Bangladesh are people seeing today? The basic rights are being violated. The spirit of the Liberation War and the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman are in exile. The lives of the people of the country are at stake. The people of Bangladesh now have only one option to escape from this situation. And that is the departure of Muhammad Yunus, the architect of unrest. Yunus has to go.

We must unite to save the country, save life, nature and people. We must fight against these vultures who are holding the national flag in their hands. There is no alternative.
