‘Yunus government itself instigated the mob’
He said, ‘What does the death of Usman Hadi have to do with the Indian High Commission? They wanted to close the Indian Embassy. It is the Yunus government that has instigated the mob. At present, there is such a situation in Bangladesh where the advisors of the current government are instigating from above and then the police or army are being asked to remain silent.
Osman Hadi was a fundamentalist: Mohibul Hasan
Mohibul Hasan Chaudhary, former minister in Sheikh Hasina cabinet, said, ‘Usman Hadi was a fundamentalist, who talked about shedding the blood of others. On this pretext, the Yunus government, with the help of other fundamentalist political parties, tried to instigate riots in the entire country by provoking its extremists and some of their people. The main objective of Mohammad Yunus is to delay the elections. They wanted Delhi to react after attacking the Indian High Commission.
He said, ‘These are extremists with jihadi mentality, who held power for some time and now that they have realized that this is not their job, they just want to remain in politics. These people are trying to spread as much anarchy and disorder as possible.
