Yunus's 'Mistake' Ignites Bangladesh: Extremism Soars, Hindus Face Calamity
- •Muhammad Yunus's interim government lifted the ban on extremist Jamaat-e-Islami after Sheikh Hasina's resignation.
- •Jamaat-e-Islami, a pro-Pakistan organization, advocates for a Caliphate and was involved in 1971 war crimes.
- •Sheikh Hasina had banned Jamaat due to its radical ideology, involvement in violence, and anti-state activities.
- •Lifting the ban on August 8 led to a surge in extremism, communal violence, and severe attacks on minority Hindus.
- •The decision is blamed for Bangladesh's current instability, economic decline, and widespread suffering, especially for Hindus.
Why It Matters: Yunus's decision to unban Jamaat-e-Islami fueled extremism and led to increased violence against Hindus in Bangladesh.
