Reuters has catered an interview of Mohammed Yunus, known as the “father” of microcredit, who jointly received Nobel Peace Prize along with Grameen Bank in 2006, which clearly reflects his actual desire of returning to politics and ultimately become head of the government in Bangladesh – a long-cherished dream that could not see the light despite frantic bids of Hillary Clinton as well as few other top brasses in the Democratic Party. By now, this interview has already appeared in a section of media outlets in the world as well as in Bangladesh.

Facebook and French news agency AFP evidently have stepped into the trap of Al Qaeda-connected Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and its Islamist partners, including Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) and have been contributing to turning Bangladesh into a neo-Taliban state by running vile propaganda targeting well-respected thinktank and research group such as Center for Research and Information (CRI). It became crystal clear when recently Facebook shut down 148 accounts and pages by claiming those were operated by ruling “Awami League’s research organization” – Center for Research and Information (CRI). Pro-Islamist and pro-jihadist elements within Bangladesh’s media circle felt extremely encouraged at this decision […] #CounterPoint Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/06/facebook-afp-and-al-qaeda-connected-bnp-launch-propaganda-war-against-bangladeshi-thinktank-cri/?feed_id=12411

Clearly with the target of putting Bangladesh government, particularly Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina into discomfort and malign image of the country, controversial Novel laureate Muhammad Yunus has been repeatedly resorting to numerous tactics while very recently he repeatedly similar notoriety by claiming, he was compelled to enter the dock, an iron cage-like enclosure for the accused inside the court room, as he has “reached worst point” of his “cursed life”. “For the first time, I had to stand in an iron-cage court dock … I’ll never forget this … It is a part of this cursed life”, said Yunus.

A disturbing news about Islamists in Bangladesh flexing muscles at Hindus by illegally constructing a mosque on the land of a century-old temple had missed the attention of the majority of the newspapers, just because no one wants to annoy the jihad-mongering radical Muslims in the country.

Within hours of ultra-Islamist Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) openly declaring its involvement with ongoing “India Out” notoriety that demands boycott of Indian products, local franchise members of global terrorist outfit Al Qaeda have been secretly sending messages to local traders to refrain from selling Indian products.

For decades, former US First Lady and then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her husband – former president Bill Clinton have been indulged in massive corruption thus receiving bribes from locals and foreign entities as “donation” pouring into their inglorious family venture – Clinton Foundation. Bill and Hillary Clinton were offering favor and influence in exchange for donations (read bribe) made to their family enterprise.

Recently during regular press briefing US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller said the United States does not dictate “any country what it must do”. Most of us know, Miller’s statement is either a blatant lie or suppression of fact as the United States has championed the art of intervening into domestic affairs of foreign nations and for its past track record of buying, intimidating and harassing any targeted country when it refuses to listen to Washington’s dictation.

In recent years, YouTube, one of the world’s largest online video-sharing platforms, has become a breeding ground for hate speech, cyberterrorism, and misinformation. Despite claims of enforcing community standards, YouTube has failed to take action against channels that propagate vile propaganda against India, Hindus, and Indian businesses. This failure not only undermines India’s image but also poses a significant threat to its economy. YouTube, owned by Google, boasts over 2.5 billion monthly users and is the second most visited website globally.
