No place for Hasina's fascist party in Bangladesh's politics, says Dr Yunus

Dr. Muhammad Yunus, the chief adviser to Bangladesh's interim leader, has accused the political party of former authoritarian leader Sheikh Hasina of displaying "all the characteristics of fascism." He stated that the Awami League "has no place" in the country's politics at this time. In an interview, the 84-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate remarked, "In the short run, definitely she has no place — the Awami League doesn't have a place — in Bangladesh." He further elaborated, saying, "They controlled the people, the political machinery, and the institutions to serve their interests." Yunus emphasized, "No fascist party should exist in a democratic system."
