Bangladesh is now in the final form of anarchy, murder and fascism. Mohammad Yunus is gradually turning a secular country born in 1971 into a buffer state through conspiracy. The freedom fighters, who played the biggest role in achieving independence in exchange for the blood of three million people, are being humiliated and beaten only for being supporters of Bangladesh Awami League, the only leading party of independence. To see the most polluted form of fascism, you have to look at Bangladesh.
