There were serious allegations of Hindu persecution during his tenure. During the tenure of Muhammad Yunus, the head of the post-Hasina interim government in Bangladesh, allegations of unbridled terrorism against minorities reached the international arena. He was criticized a lot. He resigned after the new government was formed in February. Then 8 months have passed. But the anger of Bangladeshis towards Yunus has not decreased at all, the evidence was found in New York on Monday. When John F. Kennedy landed at the airport, he was surrounded by huge protests. Yunus was called a 'militant' and the slogan 'go back' was raised. At last Yunus was taken safely out of the airport in a wheelchair.
As seen in a viral video on social media, Yunus boarded a Qatar Airways flight at JF Kennedy Airport on Monday night. A group of people surrounded him as he exited Terminal 8 in a wheelchair. All of them are known to be of Bangladeshi origin living in America. Some of them raised slogans of 'go back'. One of the crowd pointed at Yunus and said, “You are a terrorist. You have killed common people of Bangladesh. Why did you come here?”
Mohammad Yunus, chief adviser to the interim government, flew in from abroad a few months after the fall of Hasina's government in a mass coup in August 2024. Allegedly, during his period, Hindu persecution was the most in Bangladesh. There was an uproar about it in the international community as well. After the election of Tariq Rahman government in February 2026, Yunus lost his post. He was in the country for so long. This is the first time he went on a foreign trip. And he had to face public protests to set foot in America. This crowd belongs to his country.

Why did you come here?” They also alleged that most Hindus were killed during the tenure of Yunus as chief, many security guards and police had to be put at risk. Yunus did not care at all about the protection of ordinary citizens.
Although the former ruler of Bangladesh and Nobel laureate economist was calm in the face of all the allegations. Seeing this protest around Yunus, many people are saying that it was bound to happen. Even though the people of the country could not protest directly, the Bangladeshis outside were very upset with the whole situation. He reflected on getting Yunus in front.
