‘Attacks on people part of conspiracy, youth-achieved freedom must be safeguarded at all costs’

Nobel laureate Professor Dr Muhammad Yunus stated that attacks on people are part of a larger conspiracy.

"We must protect every citizen and guide anyone who strays back to the right path," he came up with this remark during a press conference at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka upon his arrival from France.

Addressing the youth, Professor Yunus declared, "The country is now in your hands. You have liberated it, and it is your responsibility to rebuild it according to your vision. This freedom you have achieved must be safeguarded at all costs."

He went on saying, "The benefits of this freedom should reach every corner of the country, or it will be meaningless."

"If you choose not to heed my words, please relieve me, and I will focus on my own work," he added.

He pledged to restore public trust in the governance system.
