The cat is out of bag… Indian operations against Bangladesh are not only exposed but New Delhi has no place to hide. PM Sheikh Hasina exposed the role of the US but the Indian wish list to annex Bangladesh as Indian Union, with a special autonomous status, has been recently exposed. Nevertheless, the main player at the stage, Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus is unable to take over the stage due to premature leakages. Muhammad Yunus was always close to India due to pre-partition origin but we noticed the frequency of air travel to India by Muhammad Yunus increased before and after the award of the Noble Prize. India awarded Yunus "Shera Bangalee 2006". At Kolkata, India plans were chalked out to replace Bangladeshi leadership with Muhammad Yunus and Indian-origin migrants to Bangladesh. Grameen Banks of Bangladesh and Indian West Bengal banks merged as Paschim th Banga Gramin Bank (PBGB) and Bangiya Gramin Vikash Bank (BGVB) established in February 2007. Muhammad Yunus has embezzled billions of dollars, involved in money laundering and anti-Bangladesh activities.

If the latest development New Delhi has asked Muhammad Yunus if PM Hasina should be allowed pre-recorded limited access to media but disallowed and PM Hasina was given a disgraceful ultimatum, “I have told Hasina that she should keep her mouth shut till her trial commence.” In another development, Indian West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has declined to endorse a deal signed during former PM of India Manmohan Singh's Dhaka in 2011 while Bangladesh's Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus has come up with a new agreement to resolve the Teesta water-sharing treaty with India. There is a conspiracy going on to deprive Bangladesh’s rights over the rivers. Dhaka must not repeat the mistake Pakistan committed by signing the 1960 Indus Water Treaty, which deprived Pakistan of its due share according to International law. The Bangladeshi nation needs to understand that regimes and interim governments should not be allowed to deal with such matters, and all decisions should be based on international law.

Muhammad Yunus has started political victimization in which many political leaders of Awami Party and allies have disappeared and some arrested without warrants. The Interim puppet led by Muhammad Yunus has also closed 'Access to Information' (A2I) programme between the Government of Bangladesh and UNDP which was progressing well. Earlier Muhammad Yunus pressurized the World Bank to block funding Bangladesh's Padma bridge project, however, now he is working to get loans worth $14 billion from the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, Asian Development Bank and other international lenders. It is high time for the people of Bangladesh to stop self-centered businessman Muhammad Yunus from undertaking strategic decisions that will ultimately deprive the sovereignty and integrity of Bangladesh. The international community must also pressurize India to allow PM Hasina freedom of speech and movement as well as access to media.
