Nobel Laureate Says "Volcanic Eruption" Could Come From An Unstable Bangladesh

 "If you destabilise Bangladesh, it will spill over all around Bangladesh, including Myanmar and seven sisters in West Bengal everywhere," said Muhammad Yunus to NDTV.

Delhi, New: The largest problem Bangladesh is currently facing is the restoration of law and order, and if that is not accomplished, there will be a knock-on effect in neighboring countries like India, Nobel laureate and creator of Grameen Bank Muhammad Yunus told NDTV in an exclusive interview today. With the removal of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, things are improving, but the nation must make sure that the joyous occasion doesn't degenerate into violence. He stated that following celebrations, people ought to return home and everything ought to resume as normal in the morning.

Following a 45-minute ultimatum from the army, Sheikh Hasina resigned from her position as prime minister today, capping weeks of extreme unrest throughout the nation. Her ultimate destination is unknown, however she is presently in India.

In Bangladesh, the demonstrators persisted in their assault even after she left. Following that, there were skirmishes between the demonstrators and the Awami League supporters of Sheikh Hasina. The Prime Minister's official mansion, Gono Bhaban, was stormed and looted by the demonstrators in the late evening. Vandals damaged the statue of Ms. Hasina's father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the tallest leader in the nation's history and the man who spearheaded the country's struggle for independence from Pakistan. A minister's home was also set on fire.

 Mr. Yunus replied that it "would not be a very happy situation" when asked who was in charge of the demonstrators and how bad things could get if they are not subdued.

"If you destabilise Bangladesh, it will spill over all around Bangladesh, including Myanmar and seven sisters in West Bengal everywhere," he stated to NDTV.

"It will be a volcanic eruption everywhere around us and in Myanmar... and it would be a bigger problem because a million Rohingyas are in here," he stated.

He stated that there are 170 million people in the world, the majority of them are young people who have never cast a ballot.

"You need to confirm that they are law-abiding, content citizens who are aware of democracy... These youths have never cast a ballot in their lives. Those elections were never held, hence they never visited the polls. We need to start by having conversations with the youth," he continued.
