Dr. Muhammad Yunus has emerged as the epicenter of a new storm in Bangladesh’s politics. His goal now seems unmistakable — to hand over power to Sheikh Hasina and quietly slip out of the country under the shield of safety. After years of clinging to authority without legitimacy, abusing power, presiding over killings, plunder, economic destruction, and the rise of extremism — he is desperate for one thing: indemnity.
Carrying this mission, he is knocking on foreign doors, pleading with the international community to guarantee his escape.
Political analysts warn that such maneuvers are not merely about Yunus’s personal security — they cast a long shadow on the nation’s future. Appeals for foreign protection could ignite new controversies, damage Bangladesh’s global image, and destabilize the fragile political balance.
Diplomatic circles are already abuzz: will Dr. Yunus resign and flee before the elections? His dream of ruling indefinitely has collapsed against the hard walls of constitutional reality. What once seemed possible now looks impossible. Analysts suggest that while this breakdown may bring relief for national stability, it leaves Yunus personally cornered — politically, legally, and even physically vulnerable.
Yunus knows one bitter truth: without the Awami League, no government in Bangladesh can function. Across the country, Awami League workers and pro-liberation forces are ready to resist. The foreign-backed fantasy of erasing the Awami League from Bangladesh’s politics has failed. The people’s defiance ensures one thing — any attempt at illegitimate rule will crumble.
But this is not just a political drama. The stakes are economic and social as well. For years, Bangladesh’s economy has suffered under uncertainty. Political chaos has scared away investors, weakened partnerships, and left industries fragile. The resurgence of extremism and the collapse of law and order have endangered both security and growth.
Now, Yunus’s plea for indemnity abroad is not only a personal escape plan — it has become a flashpoint in Bangladesh’s political and economic destiny.
