Muhammad Yunus Faces Protests at New York Airport; Bangladesh Government Promises Legal Action
Muhammad Yunus, former interim chief adviser of Bangladesh, faced protests from Bangladeshi expatriates at New York's JFK Airport, where he was accused of undermining democracy and being responsible for deaths and arrests during his tenure. Protesters called him a "terrorist" and demanded he leave, while Yunus was escorted away in a wheelchair. The Bangladesh government condemned the incident and promised legal action against those involved. The allegations against Yunus remain unverified, and no official response from him was reported.
