Bangladesh’s ex-Member of Parliament A F M Bahauddin Nasim criticized the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government, alleging it is transforming the nation into a terrorist state and aligning with Pakistan. Nasim, also an Awami League Joint General Secretary, expressed concerns over the escalating violence, including riots, killings, and lawlessness, endangering Bangladesh’s stability.
Nasim highlighted the rise of fundamentalist and terrorist groups in Bangladesh, linking them to political entities like Jamaat-e-Islami and Islami Chhatra Shibir, along with the Yunus government. He emphasized the erosion of democratic rights, freedom of speech, and press freedom, painting a grim picture of the current situation in the country.
The former MP, who sought refuge in India following political upheavals, accused the Yunus government of fostering pro-Pakistani sentiments and collaborating with Pakistani intelligence. Nasim raised suspicions about economic ties with Pakistan, alleging a shift in rice imports from India to Pakistan, questioning the motives behind such changes and asserting Bangladesh’s independence and sovereignty.
Nasim underscored the government’s alleged attempts to distort history, diminish the legacy of Freedom Fighters, and promote a pro-Pakistani narrative. He criticized the suppression of nationalistic sentiments, restrictions on historical references, and efforts to rewrite Bangladesh’s liberation war history, portraying a concerning trend of erasing past struggles and achievements.
