'Bangladesh Freed From Grip Of Demon': Yunus Condemns Sheikh Hasina's Rule In Exit Address

In a significant political shift in Bangladesh, Tarique Rahman is set to be sworn in as the new Prime Minister on Tuesday, marking a potential end to Sheikh Hasina's long-standing rule. Rahman, the son of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, has been a prominent figure in the opposition and has criticized Hasina's governance, describing it as a 'demon' that has gripped the nation. His ascension to power comes amid widespread calls for political reform and greater democratic freedoms in Bangladesh, where Hasina's administration has faced allegations of authoritarianism and human rights abuses. Rahman’s victory is seen as a pivotal moment for the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), which has struggled against the ruling Awami League for years. As the country anticipates this transition, both supporters and critics are eager to see whether Rahman's leadership will bring about the much-needed changes in governance and civil liberties that many Bangladeshis have been advocating for.
