Bangladesh deserves serious statecraft. Instead, it has got a headline-chasing interim figure who treats India as a prop. The Soros-lackey chameleon called Md Yunus. Muhammad Yunus Even in his last speech as Chief Adviser of the Government of Bangladesh, another gratuitous sermon on India, the headline-chasing head sprinkled his... televised address with the familiar “sovereignty/dignity” theatrics and a sly reference to India’s North East and Seven Sisters of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Tripura - without calling them part of India. Relevance, for him, must be manufactured abroad and when you can’t govern, you grandstand. When you can’t stabilise your own country, you try to manufacture an external villain - preferably the neighbour that actually functions. Let’s get the hierarchy straight. Yunus wasn’t elected. He didn’t build legitimacy through the ballot. He instigated a volatile interim perch and has since presided over a Bangladesh that looks increasingly unmoored. Yet the man speaks as if he is Bangladesh’s permanent conscience. The irony is almost comic. All he will be remembered for is a hubris that is beyond redemption whose ideological shape-shifting is the tell. One day he behaves like a global icon; the next he is the local strongman-in-waiting, feeding the same old insinuations for applause. That is what happens when your politics is held together by networks and patronage, not mandate and performance.show more
