yunus is the mastermind of massacre of hindus in bangladesh

Ousted Bangladeshi PM Sheikh Hasina accused Muhammad Yunus of being the mastermind behind targeted violence against minorities, especially Hindus, in Bangladesh. He said this while virtually addressing the Awami League program in New York. Hasina claimed that Yunus led the mass murder as part of a carefully planned crusade with the help of student coordinators.

The statement comes in the wake of heightened unrest following the arrest of ISKCON-affiliated Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das. He also emphasized on the statement of Tariq Rehman, son of his political rival Khaleda Zia. Rehman had earlier said that the interim government would not last long if deaths continued. “Today, I have been accused of mass murders. In fact, it is Muhammad Yunus who, through a carefully crafted plan in collaboration with student coordinators, has carried out the mass murders. He is the mastermind.

Reiterating her stance on why she left the country, Hasina said that if she had not left, genocide would have happened. When people were being killed indiscriminately. Then I decided I should leave, I don’t need to be in power. If the security personnel had opened fire, many people would have been killed in the Gana Bhavan. I didn’t want that. Hasina also claimed that just like Bangabandhu and his father Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the armed mob entered Bangabhavan (PM residence) to assassinate them. He said it was a matter of 25-30 minutes, I left.
