Muhammad Yunus Faces Protests from Bangladeshi Expats at New York Airport
Muhammad Yunus, former interim chief adviser of Bangladesh, faced protests from Bangladeshi expatriates at New York's JFK Airport on October 12. Protesters accused him of undermining democracy and causing deaths during his tenure, calling him a "terrorist" and demanding he leave. Yunus was escorted away in a wheelchair amid the confrontation. The demonstrators alleged arrests of around two lakh people and blamed Yunus for police deaths, claims that remain unverified. Yunus and his aide briefly retreated inside the airport during the incident.
