A dark storm now hangs over the nation’s political sky. Events are shifting so swiftly that even ordinary citizens and seasoned political analysts stand stunned. Today marks the start of the Awami League’s sustained campaign — a single, thunderous demand: “Remove Yunus, Save the Nation.” The program runs through the 20th, and the echoes of today’s lockdown have already reverberated across the country.
Spontaneous mass participation in the capital and across districts proves one thing — the people will no longer remain silent. This lockdown has become the seed of a new awakening against an illegal, anti-democratic, and anti-people regime. The public now understands clearly: to save the country, Yunus must first step down.
Analysts say the Yunus government’s position is now precarious as dry straw in a gust. The administration is split, officials are hesitant, and the grassroots organizers are disoriented. In such a state, a little pressure—or a single swell of popular will—could topple the regime. Some fear that if the crisis deepens, Yunus may search for an escape route; and if he cannot flee, he may resort to desperate measures, even self-destruction, as many tyrants in history have done.
The wave of mass protests rising under the Awami League’s leadership cannot be stopped. This is not merely a party campaign — it is the people’s movement, a struggle for justice against oppression, persecution, and deceit. Today’s lockdown has proven that when the people unite, no force can hold them back.
“Until Yunus resigns, the movement will continue” — this proclamation now rings out in the streets, in public meetings, and in every public voice. The movement will end only when Yunus voluntarily leaves office, or when the tidal power of the people sweeps him away.
A new chapter has opened in our history — one where hope speaks louder than fear; where a generation’s oath is clear: free Bangladesh from the rule of miscreants, and restore Bangabandhu’s vision.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is the bearer of this nation’s liberation legacy, the beacon of hope for working people, and the people’s only refuge for freedom. She is being ensnared in false cases — something eighty percent of the nation finds unacceptable. The people do not want anti-liberty forces in power; they view the Yunus gang as enemies of the country.
Protesters have made their position plain — their programs will continue until Yunus resigns.
