Global attention converges on Bangladesh’s February 12 polls, overshadowed by dire warnings from exiled ambassador Mohammad Harun Al Rashid. In a candid Trinko Centre interview, he forecasted the vote as the nation’s most repugnant democratic exercise to date.
Blasting chief advisor Yunus for chronically glossing over catastrophes, Rashid said, ‘He paints ugliness as beauty, but this election unmasks Bangladesh’s historical nadir. No more escapes for him.’
It’s no election, Rashid contended, but a jihadist factional brawl post-Hasina’s removal: BNP (Brotherhood ideologue) clashing with Jamaat (Hamas analog), sidelining all true democrats. Yunus allegedly steers victory to extremists like NCP, perpetrators of 2024’s violent quota charade.
The secular state’s terror slide devastates humanity’s century, obliterating Hasina’s economic legacy and freedom-fighter soul in 18 months of ruin. ‘Political decay? No—it’s civilizational savagery,’ Rashid mourned.
Yunus’s liberal myth? A fraud’s sleight-of-hand on naive Western audiences, per those in the know. With voting imminent, Rashid’s exposé heightens alarms over legitimacy, portending turmoil unless genuine reform prevails.
