Even Muhammad Yunus and his advisers took an oath under the Constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"312\" height=\"162\" src=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/download-4.jpg\" alt=\"Bangabandhu\" class=\"wp-image-2621\" style=\"width:543px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/download-4.jpg 312w, https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/download-4-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/download-4-18x9.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 312px) 100vw, 312px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=2615\">Sheikh Hasina issues open letter to the people of Bangladesh<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=2595\">Yunus regime\u2019s mob rule against Awami League is terrorising ordinary people<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Netizens have shown support to her because of her bravery against mobs and for upholding the spirit of the Liberation War and the rule of law. Many said West\u2019s puppet Yunus, whose father was a Pakistan Muslim League leader and Razakar in 1971, is serving Jamaat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On August 3, Shamima Yasmin, the headmaster of Sonarghope Ramesh Chandra Government Primary School in the upazila, refused to take down the portrait from her office in the face of demands by a mob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am the daughter of a freedom fighter. My father, Moinuddin Master, risked his life for the country and fought in the Liberation War. The great hero of that war was Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. If it were not for Bangabandhu, independent Bangladesh would not have been created. So, I cannot remove this picture from my school,\u201d she told journalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The teacher&#8217;s husband, Md Hafizur Rahman, said: \u201cThe Assistant Education Officer called my wife and said that you have a letter. Come and take it to the office. But they did not tell us anything about the dismissal from the job.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He further said: \u201cMy wife did not take down the picture because there was no government order to remove Bangabandhu\u2019s picture from the school. Later, the Assistant Education Officer asked her to take down the picture from the wall, so Bangabandhu\u2019s picture was taken down. Now, if my wife has a problem with this, I have no problem with it.
