Chief Advisor calls for unity for existence issue of nation

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus has said, "Some countries did not like the mass uprising in Bangladesh. They who did not like it are trying to portray it as a terrible event".

Indicating that the ill-efforts are being made from abroad, he called on everyone to unite, putting aside political ideology.

He said the ongoing ill-efforts have become a big impediment to the journey of new Bangladesh, terming it an issue of existence.

The Chief Adviser held a dialogue with the leaders of major political parties in a bid to call for national unity on Wednesday. 

BNP, Jamaat-e-Islami and some other political parties participated in the dialogue.

The meeting began at 4:00pm at the Foreign Service Academy. 

Prof Yunus sought suggestions from the political parties to this end, saying "Let's not make a mistake in moving forward with this matter. Let's work together. If we all do it together, a collective force will be created".

He said the very heavy stone of oppression was removed through the student-people uprising but many people did not like "our freedom and our liberty", so they were trying to overturn it after the August 5.
 
When the Durga Puja was approaching, he said, it seemed that chaos would emerge over it and that was why the government called for unity and all responded to the call.
 
Puja was celebrated very peacefully all over the country, while all participated in the joy of the Puja, he added.
 
The chief adviser said there was no disorder in any place but many people did not like it too.
 
That quarter continues ill-efforts in new ways and is creating imaginary tales of anther Bangladesh in place of the new Bangladesh what "we are trying to build", he said.
 
"All the time, they are giving various forms to it. It is not limited to one country. It spreads to particular big countries. Those who don't like our great revolution want to erase it and want to hide," the chief adviser said.

He said the quarter is creating a narrative that a terrible incident happened in Bangladesh and the country should be protected from it.

 
He said the quarter, which is so powerful, wants to create an imaginary Bangladesh, while it is gradually becoming apparent that they are able to convince people that they are creating this new myth and many are expressing doubts.
 
Despite repeated calls to visit Bangladesh to see the reality as there is no barrier here, they are creating imaginary tales, the chief adviser said.
