RUTHFULLY YOURS

On August 5, 2024, Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina was forced to flee the country and take refuge in India following a month-long anti-government movement led by Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI), ultra-Islamist Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), Hizb Ut Tahrir and other Islamist organizations in the country. It was earlier perceived by many that the Biden administration had been trying to topple Sheikh Hasina from power and install Muhammad Yunus as head of the government.

Muhammad Yunus is one of the major donors of Clinton Foundation, and according to a cable leaked by Wikileaks, back in 2007, Hillary Clinton made frantic bids and exerted pressure on Bangladesh Army to make her friend Yunus head of the then military-backed interim government.

Following the ouster of Sheikh Hasina, Muhammad Yunus returned to Bangladesh on August 7, 2024 from France and on the subsequent day took oath as the “Chief Advisor” of the military-backed revolutionary regime. Meanwhile, since August 5, 2024, massive attacks on Hindus, including their homes, businesses and temples began, while local media were barred from covering these incidents, as the Yunus regime has been arresting critics and journalists and bringing murder cases against them.

As Yunus is enjoying full support of the Biden administration as well as Democratic Party leaders such as Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, none of the rights groups, including Amnesty International or Human Rights Watch has issued any statement pertaining attacks (including murder and rapes) on Hindus in the country.

Organizations such as Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) also did not issue any statement condemning the arrest of journalists and imprisoning them in murder cases.

On September 26, 2024, during his US visit to attend UNGA, Muhammed Yunus was accorded a reception by the Clinton Global Initiative, which was also attended by Bill Clinton. In this program, Bill Clinton applauded Mahfuz Alam, a leader of Hizb Ut Tahrir who led Islamist revolt in Bangladesh. Here is a video of the event.

Here is one more related link to Mahfuz Alam’s Hizb Ut Tahrir connections.

Incidentally that Hizb Ut Tahrir is an anti-democracy Islamist outfit, which advocates establishment of a caliphate and is banned in Bangladesh and many other countries, including Britain and the United States.
