Muhammad Yunus Not Ready to Relent! Threatens to Resign, More Unrest On Cards?

Muhammad Yunus Not Ready to Relent! Threatens to Resign, More Unrest On Cards in Dhaka?

Cornered by increasing pressure from political opponents and civil society groups, Yunus is said to be exploring his exit as a last resort, possibly to regain public sympathy and political leverage. This move, while bold, has sparked speculation over the return of large-scale street demonstrations, reminiscent of previous waves of instability that paralyzed the capital.

Yunus’s threat to step down is a calculated tactic aimed at rallying public support

Analysts believe Yunus’s threat to step down is a calculated tactic aimed at rallying public support, especially from those disillusioned with mainstream politics. His supporters argue that the judicial and political pressure mounted against him is part of a broader effort to silence alternative voices in Bangladesh’s evolving power structure.

While official statements are awaited, the political atmosphere in Dhaka remains tense, with student unions, opposition parties, and civil society groups reportedly preparing for a new round of protests.

The question now looms large: Will Yunus actually resign, or is this a strategic push to shift public momentum in his favor? Either way, Bangladesh seems to be heading toward another phase of political volatility. 

If Yunus follows through with his resignation, it could further deepen the ongoing political crisis and embolden opposition forces who accuse the interim setup of lacking transparency and legitimacy. On the other hand, if this is a strategic move, it highlights his resilience and willingness to confront the establishment head-on. The coming days will be crucial in determining Bangladesh’s democratic direction and social stability.
