Warm New Year greetings to all Bengalis, Bangla-speaking people, and citizens of Bangladesh.
May the new year bring prosperity among us and wipe away all decay and suffering. For the people of Bangladesh, relief is now extremely urgent. For nearly two years, a bulldozer of extremism, terrorism, mob violence, land grabbing, rape, and killings has been running over the people of the country. Regardless of party, opinion, class, age, or education, people from all levels of society are suffering.
Through Yunus’s seizure of power and a so-called election, the country has been turned into a land ruled by mobs. As crises continue one after another, people’s lives are being devastated, yet those entrusted with running the government remain focused only on serving their own interests.
Due to the energy crisis, from hardworking farmers to large industries, the entire economy of the country is suffering. However, because of the irresponsibility of those in charge and a mindset of self-destruction, the suffering has multiplied several times. Even though infrastructure capable of storing oil reserves is fully ready, leaving it unused is not just foolishness — it is a deliberate act of causing hardship to people. By using the Maheshkhali Single Point Mooring system, not only could nine days have been saved in oil imports, but storage capacity could also have been increased. Yet, simply because the project was initiated under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina, it has not been made operational even after two years. Instead, loan instalments are being repaid while losing the opportunity to earn 800 crore taka annually.
Amid this crisis, another terrifying crisis is ongoing, the primary victims of which are our young children. In 2025, due to the failure of the illegal Yunus government to vaccinate more than half of the children against measles, within just a year — and within the span of a single month — hundreds of children died.
Who bears this responsibility? During the Awami League government, vaccination coverage was nearly universal. In 2025, it dropped to 59%. Due to the negligence of the Yunus government, a disease that was nearly eradicated has now taken the form of an epidemic in the country.
At the same time, the current health minister claimed, using fabricated information, that vaccinations had not been administered for the past eight years. To this day, the current government has completely failed to control the measles epidemic. All the deaths and suffering of children caused by this crisis lie with the current BNP government and the illegal Yunus government. People will never forgive them for this killing of children. One day, they will have to face justice for these acts.
The crisis does not end here. The mob attacks that began in August 2024 have still not stopped. Recently, in Kushtia, a man was beaten to death by extremist militants identifying themselves as “Touhidi Janata.” The rule of law did not exist during Yunus’s time, and it still does not. The country remains under the control of extremists. The same extremist groups that carried out the Ramna Batamul bombings in 2001, killing 10 people, spread panic during last year’s Pohela Boishakh, and attempted to replace Bengali traditions like the Mangal Shobhajatra with Middle Eastern cultural practices — those groups are now even more powerful.
Therefore, I call upon ordinary people to stand against extremism, fundamentalism, and mob rule. Today, the people of Bangladesh do not have a fearless mind; our heads have been bowed before foreign powers, and our knowledge is restrained under the black flags of militants. This stagnation must be broken. Everything that seeks to destroy our independence and our history must be erased.
Let us raise our voices together in unison and eliminate fundamentalism from Bangladesh. Once again, Happy Bengali New Year 1433.

A formal UN communication has raised serious concerns over the political and human rights situation in Bangladesh, particularly the ban on the Awami League and the use of anti-terror and tribunal laws against its members. The UN flagged issues including mass arrests, restrictions on political speech and assembly, and alleged violations of fair trial rights. These developments point to a shrinking democratic space, where opposition voices are being sidelined and due process is increasingly questioned. As the country approaches a critical political juncture, the international community is being urged to closely monitor the situation and ensure that fundamental rights and democratic principles are upheld.
