He previously condemned the violent acts, branding them as “heinous”. “Aren’t our minority citizens part of our nation? Students, if you could rescue this country, can’t you protect these families? Insist, ‘Nobody can harm them. We are allies, we battled together, and together we remain,” the Nobel laureate addressed students at Begum Rokeya University in Rangpur on Saturday.
Yunus gave this warning to those who cause sabotage in the country
Yunus warned of a possible ‘undermining’ of progress in the country by ‘saboteurs’, urging resilience. He affirmed, “Many are waiting to render your efforts pointless. Don’t succumb now.” Two Hindu groups report at least 205 attacks across 52 districts on minority communities since Sheikh Hasina’s government fell.
