On September 29, 2024, the Yunus regime issued a gazette notification instructing customs authorities to exclude shipments from Pakistan from mandatory inspections under the ‘National Selectivity Criteria’. This creates a glaring loophole, allowing goods arriving from Pakistan to bypass customs checks. Weeks earlier, the regime lifted provisions for post-landing inspections of consignments from Pakistan and removed mandatory security clearance for Pakistani citizens applying for Bangladeshi visas.
A classified communiqué from Bangladesh’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs reveals Bangladeshi missions have been instructed to end the requirement for security clearance for Pakistani nationals, overturning a policy enacted in February 2019. This undermines Bangladesh’s security and facilitates infiltration by Pakistani terrorists, smugglers and organised crime networks. The Yunus regime, criticised for its Islamist, jihadist, and caliphate-driven ideologies, has adopted an overtly anti-India, anti-Hindu, and pro-Pakistan stance.
The Yunus regime’s policy changes have far-reaching consequences. Members of terrorist organisations such as Lashkar-e-Taiba, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, and others now have easier access to Bangladesh, potentially infiltrating India through its porous borders.
Additionally, the policy shift benefits Pakistani narco-lords like Dawood Ibrahim’s D-Company and the Inter-Service Intelligence, enabling the smuggling of weapons, explosives, narcotics, and counterfeit Indian currency.
Muhammad Yunus, known for his close ties with figures like Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and George Soros, appears to be exploiting anti-Hindu sentiment and an anti-India agenda to divert public attention from Bangladesh’s impending economic collapse. Simultaneously, he is negotiating with energy companies to secure lucrative contracts.
On December 8, 2024, George Mark Malloch Brown, the president of Open Society Foundations and a former UNDP head, held a lengthy meeting with Yunus. Brown is an advisor to the IMF and World Bank and has connections with George Soros. According to Alexander Soros, Muhammad Yunus is an ‘old friend’ of his father.
