Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus, the chief adviser to the interim government, said, "We were able to remove the most oppressing stone from our chest through the mass uprising of students and the public. We celebrated victory. But many people do not like our freedom, our independence. Efforts are being made to reverse it in various ways. Therefore, everyone must be united to establish the current reality of the country to the world.

He said this at a meeting with political party leaders at the Foreign Service Academy in the capital on Wednesday (December 4).

The chief adviser said, Durga Puja was celebrated peacefully across the country in October. We also participated in the joy of the puja. There was no chaos anywhere. Many people did not like that either. Efforts are being made to destabilize the country anew.

He said, "The Bangladesh that we are trying to build is being covered up and the story of another Bangladesh is being written. They are doing this all the time in various forms." It is not that it is now within one country, but has spread to certain big countries.'

Those who did not like our uprising want to erase it, want to present it to the world in a new way. We have to protect Bangladesh from the terrible things that are happening here. They want to come forward to protect it. Now we all have to unite to prove them false or establish reality. This is not a matter of any particular political ideology. It is a matter of our existence as a nation,' he added.

Referring to various Indian propaganda recently about Bangladesh, the chief adviser said, they want to erase the free and independent Bangladesh that we created and go back to the previous one. They do not say with their mouths that the previous one was good, but their attitude is that the previous one was good. Their power is so great that they are able to lure people into it. Because of their fiction, people are expressing doubts about what kind of government this is.

Dr. Muhammad Yunus said, we have been telling them repeatedly that you come here, see, there are no obstacles here. But no, they are making up stories from there. Now we have to tell the world that we are one, what we have got we have got together, we did not get it because of any ideology, we did not get it by pushing, we uprooted those who were oppressing us. This has to be presented in front of everyone, so that we can all do it together. This has become a big issue on our journey to new Bangladesh; it has become a matter of existence.

Addressing the leaders of political parties, Dr. Yunus said, you all understand well. We all have to do the work together, if we all come together, a collective force is created, this collective force is the reason for sitting with you.

Earlier, from 3:30 pm, leaders of different political parties started coming to the Foreign Service Academy one by one. A 5-member delegation led by BNP Standing Committee member Dr. Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain participated.

The delegation led by Jamaat Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman, comprising central leaders, participated in the meeting. Representatives of other political parties also attended the meeting.

However, the Jatiya Party was not invited by the government, said the party's Secretary General Mujibul Haque Chunnu.

Earlier, the chief adviser held a meeting with the leaders of the anti-discrimination student movement in Jamuna on Tuesday (December 3) evening to discuss various ongoing issues in the country.

It is learned that the chief advisor will hold a meeting with leaders of religious communities tomorrow, Thursday.
