Public sentiment is divided regarding Muhammad Yunus: while many regard him as a humanitarian and a symbol of hope for Bangladesh, there is significant criticism of his leadership on human rights issues and concerns about media bias. The sentiment fluctuates from strong support to frustration over political motivations behind protests and the need for accountability.

Interim leader supposed to stabilize the country and hold elections for proper government. Its been a year since he took the charge snd still no sign of elections? Seems like he enjoying the power and new foreign trip every month😂

As a rule of thumb; it's always better to ignore rhetoric from 'Nobel Peace Prize's, 'Man Booker Prize', 'Magsaysay Award' winners.

As far as positions go, this is not really controversial from Yunus. Snake tho, so watch out for what he doesn't say aloud but whispers in hushed tones in private settings.

When you get the prime without hard work, demand, reputation, knowledge, then you can be arrogant in whatever way. Most people can't manage their job and end up in creating trouble for themselves and other people.

East Pakistan is only following suit after West Pakistan made anti-India statements from US soil.

&gt; # [Bangladesh's Muhammad Yunus calls attacks on Hindus 'exaggerated propaganda'](https://akm-img-a-in.tosshub.com/indiatoday/images/story/202411/muhammad-yunus-084349389-16x9.jpg?VersionId=Dxm4COSR1b7QgwmTJF22uoMPAycNJ1ge)
&gt; 
&gt;   
&gt;   
&gt; Bangladesh’s Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus downplayed recent violence against the country’s Hindu minority on Sunday, describing it as "exaggerated propaganda" with political motives aimed at destabilising the nation.
&gt; 
&gt; Yunus acknowledged that violence occurred but insisted it was political in nature and "given a communal colour." His remarks came after **[weeks of protests by tens of thousands of Hindus](https://www.indiatoday.in/world/story/hundreds-protest-dhaka-amid-rising-threats-against-hindus-bangladesh-2627211-2024-11-03?utm_source=global-search&amp;utm_medium=global-search&amp;utm_campaign=global-search)** demanding protection amid a wave of attacks on homes, businesses, and religious sites.
&gt; 
&gt; Although the Hindus, who make up about 8 per cent of Bangladesh's 17 crore population, celebrated a muted Durga Puja this year and at least 35 untoward incidents related to the festival were reported, Yunus stated, "Durga Puja was celebrated in almost 32,000 pandals across the country."
&gt; 
&gt; In contrasting claims, Hindus and other minority communities earlier stated that the interim government hasn’t adequately protected them. However, the 84-year-old Yunus on Sunday said that massive security arrangements were made to ensure peaceful Durga Puja celebrations across the country.
&gt; 
&gt; The Bangladesh Police in the month of October reportedly stated that 17 people were arrested in connection with the 35 untoward incidents during Durga Puja festivities and 11 cases were filed.
&gt; 
&gt; "We have sought a probe into each and every incident of violence against the Hindu community," Bangladesh's Chief Advisor said.
&gt; 
&gt; Yunus assured that his government is committed to providing safety to all the religious minorities in the country.
&gt; 
&gt; There have been over 2,000 attacks on Hindus since the ouster of Sheikh Hasina in August this year, The Associated Press in its November 2 report was quoted as saying by the Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council, a minority rights group that has been tracking incidents.
&gt; 
&gt; The violence has drawn international attention.
&gt; 
&gt; Prime Minister Narendra Modi had in August expressed concern over the attacks on the minorities. In his live broadcast Independence Day speech from Red Fort, PM Modi said, "We hope the situation gets normal there (Bangladesh) soon."
&gt; 
&gt; **[PM Modi was later assured](https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/pm-modi-bangladesh-muhammad-yunus-phone-call-safety-of-hindus-minorities-2583352-2024-08-16?utm_source=global-search&amp;utm_medium=global-search&amp;utm_campaign=global-search)** by Muhammad Yunus of the safety and security of the Hindus and minorities in the country.
&gt; 
&gt; The issue reached the United Nations as human rights officials have expressed concern over human rights violations in the country. While US President Joe Biden said his government is monitoring **[Bangladesh's human rights issue](https://www.indiatoday.in/world/story/bangladesh-hindus-minorities-rights-protect-united-states-urge-muhammad-yunus-durga-puja-celebrations-2613163-2024-10-08?utm_source=global-search&amp;utm_medium=global-search&amp;utm_campaign=global-search)**, Donald Trump before the US elections described the violence as "barbaric".

Maybe he is unaware that some of the North eastern states of india bordering Bangladesh which have had tibetan and SE Asian demographics now have a considerable bengali demographic. I wonder why? 

This guy's government was releasing radical Islamists in jail left and right. But now with the coming of Trump government which has a considerable amount of hindus in key positions, he is doing damage control.

This isn't anything new and has been going on since the 1900s.  
  
Hindu population in Bangladesh went from 25% 1950s to 7% today.

There were 10 million Hindus in Bangladesh in 1951 and 13 million in 2024. That is a fertility rate of 0.38%, not even the most advanced countries/communities see that type of rate. For comparison the Muslim fertility rate in Bangladesh was 2.73% per year average since 1951.  
  
For comparison Indian states of West Bengal and Assam are both around 35% Muslim.

Bangladesh needs to face serious consequences for these crimes. It's a shame that the world's largest Hindu majority country borders it yet is not intervening. Bangladeshis seem to forget that their independence is a gift from India.

Bangladesh is just like Israel, they commit a mass genocide and ethnic cleansing then they deny it, heck the only reason why Bangladesh and Pakistan eixst is because they don't want to live with Hindus, just like how Israel exist because they don't want to live with the Palestinians

Because it is, give me a list of 10 dead Hindu Bangladeshi after ousting of hasina who are not affiliated with the ex government. Most of the attacks were politically motivated.
