He noted that while 30-35 political parties participated in the National Consensus Commission dialogues with equal weight, Yunus consistently engages only BNP, Jamaat, and NCP for critical talks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is blatant bias,\u201d Tushar asserted, citing a state-funded New York trip where these parties\u2019 representatives were received by their own members rather than official embassy protocols, suggesting \u201cparty activities at state expense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=4228\">Advocate Fazlur Rahman: Yunus is the new dictator, patronising Jamaat, NCP<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=4231\">Anis Alamgir: Jamaat\u2019s apology a trick to evade accountability for 1971 genocide<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=4181\">Nobonita Chowdhury connects the dots: Jamaat is NCP\u2019s mother party<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He further criticised the government\u2019s leniency toward NCP, often labelled Jamaat\u2019s \u201cB-team\u201d or a \u201cKing\u2019s Party\u201d by critics. Despite public backlash, NCP enjoys significant influence, with Tushar alleging that their protests\u2014unlike those of teachers, rural electricity workers, or Grameenphone employees\u2014are met with government concessions rather than dismissal as \u201cfascist\u201d agitators. \u201cWhen NCP heats the streets, their demands are accepted. Others are ignored or branded fascists. This double standard is clear,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tushar also highlighted NCP\u2019s opaque funding and aggressive rhetoric, comparing their actions to fascist tactics like property seizures. He referenced an incident in Chattogram where NCP claimed to seize a \u201cfascist\u201d office, while other parties in the same building reported no such activity. \u201cIt\u2019s bad if fascists take Bihari property, but good if NCP does? This is a \u2018you do it bad, I do it right\u2019 policy,\u201d he remarked, questioning the consistency of legal standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Election Integrity Under Threat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The interview spotlighted fears that the upcoming elections could be compromised by Yunus\u2019 leadership style and institutional biases. Tushar described Yunus as a \u201clone wolf\u201d leader who listens but acts solely on his own terms, a trait evident in his tenure at Grameen Bank and Grameen Telecom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s never worked under anyone else\u2019s will. He listens but does what he wants,\u201d Tushar said, predicting that Yunus is unlikely to reform the advisory council despite complaints from BNP, Jamaat, and NCP about \u201cbiased\u201d advisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=4219\">GM Quader takes the centre stage to censure Yunus gang over election concerns<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=4207\">Masuda Bhatti explains why Yunus gang is scared of caretaker government<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These parties have raised concerns about partiality in the advisory council, with NCP\u2019s chief alleging some advisers seek \u201csafe exits.\u201d However, Tushar criticised the lack of specificity, noting that no names have been disclosed. \u201cIt\u2019s hazy. They should provide examples of biased behaviour to the public,\u201d he urged, estimating that complaints could implicate four to six advisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He argued that Yunus\u2019 refusal to act\u2014unless advisers resign voluntarily\u2014stems from his aversion to external influence, a flaw he shares with former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina: both suffer from a \u201clack of alternatives\u201d in leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tushar also questioned the selection process for advisers, noting the lack of transparency compared to past caretaker governments, where parties proposed names for consensus-based decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t know who proposed these advisers or who was excluded,\u201d he said, adding that Yunus could reasonably deflect criticism by saying: \u201cYou didn\u2019t name anyone, so I didn\u2019t act.\u201d Reports that NCP figures like Asif Mahmud proposed even Yunus\u2019 appointment further complicate accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Law and Order: A Ticking Time Bomb<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tushar warned that law and order are at risk as the election nears, exacerbated by unchecked political favouritism and public unrest. He highlighted the government\u2019s indifference to widespread protests by teachers, rural electricity workers, and Grameenphone staff, who face accusations of being \u201chidden fascists\u201d while NCP\u2019s demands are entertained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=4195\">Sheikh Hasina condemns trial of patriotic army officers in illegal ICT-BD<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=4201\">Only an inclusive election could stabilize Bangladesh, Sajeeb Wazed tells AP<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe government isn\u2019t interested in talking to genuine protesters,\u201d he said, pointing to a systemic bias that fuels public discontent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This selective engagement, coupled with Yunus\u2019 perceived alignment with Jamaat and NCP, risks escalating tensions. Tushar noted that Jamaat\u2019s advisers are seen as impartial by their own party but not by others, creating a fragmented trust landscape. \u201cJamaat calls someone biased, BNP doesn\u2019t; BNP calls someone biased, Jamaat doesn\u2019t,\u201d he explained, underscoring the polarised political climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lack of accountability extends to law enforcement, with Tushar citing the government\u2019s failure to address violent rhetoric and property seizures by NCP, mirroring tactics they criticise in others. \u201cOne country, two laws,\u201d he lamented, invoking local proverbs to highlight the hypocrisy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He warned that without addressing these inconsistencies, public faith in governance could erode further, potentially leading to unrest as the election approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Call for Urgent Action<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tushar urged for swift elections\u2014ideally in January 2026\u2014to restore a \u201cparty government\u201d accountable to the people, warning that delays would fuel controversy and distrust. \u201cPeople want change, not a 14-party circus,\u201d he said, criticising the interim government\u2019s broad coalition as unresponsive to public grievances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He called for transparency in addressing adviser biases and equitable treatment of all parties to ensure a level playing field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a revealing interview with journalist Masood Kamal, physician, influencer, and political observer Dr. Abdun Noor Tushar raised serious concerns about the growing influence of Jamaat-e-Islami, potential biases in the&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":4236,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,123,101,42],"tags":[88,263,46,913,106,188,50,71,54,65,56,85,64],"class_list":["post-4235","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crime","category-ict-bd","category-interview","category-politics","tag-1971-genocide","tag-1971-liberation-war","tag-bnp","tag-election-commission-ec","tag-grameen-bank","tag-grameen-telecom","tag-interim-government","tag-islami-chhatra-shibir","tag-jamaat-e-islami","tag-mobocracy","tag-muhammad-yunus","tag-national-citizen-party-ncp","tag-yunus-gang"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4235","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4235"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4235\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4238,"href":"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4235\/revisions\/4238"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4236"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4235"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4235"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
