Controversial Posters Surface: Bangladesh's Muhammad Yunus Faces Backlash in India

Posters of Bangladesh's Muhammad Yunus with derogatory remarks emerged in West Bengal, India. This followed reports of attacks on minorities and desecration of the Indian flag in Bangladesh. The incident has sparked anger, partly due to allegations of Yunus's inaction towards minority persecution in Bangladesh.

In a recent development, derogatory posters of Muhammad Yunus, Bangladesh's chief adviser, have surfaced in West Bengal, India. This incident comes amidst reports of attacks on minorities and desecration of the Indian national flag within Bangladesh, generating widespread controversy.

The posters, first seen around Siliguri, quickly went viral. However, the authenticity of these images remains unverified by reputable sources like PTI. An investigation is underway to trace their origins and assess their potential diplomatic implications.

Siliguri's BJP MLA, Shankar Ghosh, commented on the situation, highlighting that the posters reflect a unified frustration over perceived disrespect towards India in Bangladesh. He criticized Yunus for his reported inaction on minority persecution in Bangladesh, a sentiment echoed by the arrest of Hindu leader Chinmoy Krishna Das, emphasizing the escalating tension between the neighboring nations.
