Seeking a good unity for the sake of the nation, Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus on Sunday said a master plan is there globally and in every place and institution of the country to thwart and render this government ineffective.

One of their major ill-efforts is to create division among them, he said in a 30-minute televised speech to the nation marking the 100 days in power.

“The leaders of the fallen government, who have laundered a huge amount of money from this country, are trying to return to the country getting stronger with the laundered money. Do not let them succeed at all,” said the chief adviser.

Prof Yunus said their (who are hatching conspiracies) success means the death of the nation and end as a nation. “Be careful. We need to defeat all their evil efforts through unity - the way you thwarted their gunshots, their ‘Ayna Ghar’ (mirror house), stay agreed on this and be united.”

Prof Yunus said the minorities were subjected to violence in some cases but it was ‘completely exaggerated’.

“When we took over the charge, Bangladesh was a completely unguarded country. At that time, there was an attempt to spread unnecessary panic among religious minorities,” he said.

The chief adviser said the main reason for the few incidents of violence that occurred was political.

Prof Yunus said there was an attempt to destabilise Bangladesh afresh by giving a religious cover to these incidents. “With the cooperation of all of you, we have firmly handled this situation.”

Within two months of taking the charge, the Durga Puja was celebrated in about 32,000 puja mandaps in the country, said the chief adviser.

 An additional day of holiday was declared with the executive order on the occasion of Durga Puja.

“We had taken extensive security preparations during Durga Puja and the Hindu community of the country celebrated their festival without any interruptions,” said the chief adviser.

He said they are investigating every incident in the few cases where they have been subjected to violence since they took over the charge.
