People have once again taken to the streets in Bangladesh, but this time, the protests are not against Sheikh Hasina, rather against Muhammad Yunus, who heads the interim...
Jamaat leader Mujibur Rahman called for recruitment of Mullahs in schools to teach 'religion' based on Dawra-e-Hadith degrees and Fazil degrees from madrassas.
Muhammad Yunus, who was gleefully shaking hands with Trump on the sidelines of UNGA as if mere meeting with Trump was some sort of achievement, essentially suggested that Trump was wrong in calling anti-Hindu violence in Bangladesh “barbaric”.
Forced by circumstances, the indigenous people of Khagrachhari had to take matters into their own hands. They set up blockades on key roads under the banner of ‘Jumma Chhatra Janata.’
When Yunus assumed power, he promised democratic reforms, protection of human rights, freedom of the press, and the restoration of the rule of law. Instead, what followed has been a stunning reversal.
To make matters worse, Muhammad Yunus has given in to the demands of Islamists to raze temples to the ground and has even attempted to justify 'collective punishment' of the Hindu community.
