On August 8, 2024, in blatant disregard for the Constitution of Bangladesh, the fascist Yunus <\/a>illegally seized state power due to the collective failure of the country\u2019s democratic institutions and law enforcement agencies, marking this as one of the darkest chapters in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis day is not only a black mark in our timeline but also a stark warning to us all\u2014how crucial it is to stay vigilant in defense of democracy and to raise our voices against non-cooperation and injustice,\u201d the Awami League said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n
