What Goes Around Comes Around: Muhammad Yunus Stares at Sheikh Hasina’s Like Ouster

New Delhi: Bangladesh’s interim government chief, Muhammad Yunus, is likely to resign soon amid growing fears of arrest by the military, according to top sources. As the political crisis escalates, several student leaders have been urging Yunus to step down. Highly placed officials suggest that Yunus may take a drastic decision within this week.

There is mounting speculation that Yunus fears meeting a fate similar to that of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who fled to India after being ousted in a military-backed coup.

Sources also disclosed that preparations are already underway to arrange a chartered flight to France, possibly mirroring the escape route taken by Sheikh Hasina during her exile.

Government Under Pressure

Yunus is reportedly finding it increasingly difficult to manage the administration amid worsening law and order. Over the past two days, his government has faced significant challenges — especially due to growing tensions with the military.

Sources say the military, which had supported the student-led protests last year that led to the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League government, is now losing patience. During that uprising, the army had refused to suppress protestors, despite being called in.

Eventually, the military facilitated Hasina’s safe departure to India in an air force plane and supported Yunus’s appointment as Chief Adviser — a position equivalent to the prime minister — as demanded by the Students Against Discrimination (SAD) movement, much of which has now merged into the newly formed National Citizens' Platform (NCP).

As political uncertainty deepens, all eyes are now on whether Yunus will quit and how the military will respond to the unfolding crisis.
