Yunus never felt excited about creation of Bangladesh, claims Awami League leader in exile

A key Awami League leader Sushen Chandra Shil has said that the interim government in his country Bangladesh has failed on all fronts.

"The fact of the matter is we should not be surprised. The interim Govt head Muhammad Yunus does not have political acumen nor administrative experience. Moreover; Mr Yunus never felt excited about creation of Bangladesh," Shil told this journalist from his hideout.

He further said -- "Yunus was in the west since 1970. He did not know what feeling for a new country is. Joy Bangla is just nota slogan. Today saying Joy Bangla yields mob attack. This is the sad part of the story of post August 2024 Bangladesh". 

Shil - Awami Leader in exile

With moist eyes and choked voice; Shil admitted that the Awami League leadership must have committed mistakes as "to err is human" -- but added : "There is a need to know or analyse whether my leader Sheikh Hasina deserved this kind of exit from power. Hence, I always say what happened in July-August 2024 was part of a deeper and larger conspiracy. It was a protest aimed at violent method for regime change and so we were victims of western machinations".

He also said -- "The manner our detractors executed their plans and ousted my leader ... at times I strongly believe even if we could handle the protest differently; within two months something would have surfaced again to bring us down from power".

Shil said - Bangladesh throws up immense challenge for the world community. 

Thus, the global community and India can do a lot. I will not speak further. But what India wants to do is India's decision. The political uncertainty is a serious threat to the South Asia and bigger Asian region and the world appreciates that".

To a question he said : "I am grateful to India for the 1971 revolution and the independence of Bangladesh. The Awami League has to be grateful to India for helping our party survive post August 2024 crisis". 

Between Muhammad Yunus, Jamaat leaders, newly set up NCP and army chief Gen Zaman what's the real game ? 

The former is a stooge of America but the military man maybe closer to China. WHY Bangladeshi people still have "softness" towards India ?

After former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was ousted on August 5, 2024, Bangladesh has been at the centre of power struggle. And how things would unfold; no one will know as of now.

Certainly when Bangladesh Army Chief General Waqar Uz Zaman visited Russia in 2024; it caught eyeballs across the world and it also forced people to raise eyebrows.

Now all eyes are on elections. 

Many believe, Bangladesh's interim government, under Yunus, has seen a burst of diplomatic outreach aimed at "de-Indianising" Bangladesh's foreign policy.

Political scientist Bian Sai in a paper published by the National University of Singapore has scrutinized various aspects closely. 

Bangladesh’s ties with Pakistan and China witnessed significant "improvement"; the Yunus regime's domestic handling of the Hindu minority further strained Indo-Bangla relations. 

If the Feb 12 elections bring Jamaat to power; the South Asia may have to prepare for another Taliban type dispensation.
