Bangladeshi nationals residing in the United States recently staged a protest urging Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus to go back to his country and step down from his position. The demonstration was prompted by what protestors claim are attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh.
The protestors held banners and chanted slogans calling for Yunus to leave the US and resign from his various positions. They alleged that Yunus, who is a prominent figure in Bangladesh for his work in microfinance, has been complicit in the persecution of Hindus in the country.
The protest comes amid growing concerns over the treatment of religious minorities in Bangladesh, particularly Hindus who have faced discrimination and violence. The demonstrators accused Yunus of being silent on the issue and failing to take a stand against the attacks on Hindus.
Yunus has not responded to the allegations made by the protestors, but the demonstration highlights the deep-seated tensions within Bangladeshi communities both at home and abroad. It also underscores the importance of addressing issues of religious tolerance and minority rights in the country.
The protest in the US against Yunus serves as a reminder of the challenges facing religious minorities in Bangladesh and the need for systemic change to ensure their safety and security. As the issue gains more attention, it is likely to spark further debate and calls for action both within Bangladeshi communities and on the global stage.
