CA urges media to present country's true picture before the world
"Our unity has not weakened anywhere in the span of four months. We are unwavering in our pledge to build a new Bangladesh," the chief adviser said
Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus called upon the media and the people of the country today to present the true picture of the country before the world, saying truth should be their weapon against propaganda.
"Let truth be our weapon against propaganda," he said while addressing the nation this morning (16 December) on the occasion of the first Great Victory Day after the student-people uprising in the country.
Prof Yunus said the ousted forces cannot accept their defeat in any way so they are spending huge amounts of money every day to thwart the people's uprising from inside and outside the country.

They have thousands of crore of laundered money in their possession and their beneficiaries are spread everywhere, he said.
"If our unity remains unbroken, they will not be able to prevent us from achieving our goals. Be vigilant. Integrate your goals with the goals of the nation. No power in the world can divert us from achieving our goals," the chief adviser said.
He said when the defeated forces were trying to raise their heads, the leaders of all political parties and all religions and students, through a gathering, loudly declared in one voice that the unity through which the nation had carried out the revolution had become even stronger.
"Our unity has not weakened anywhere in the span of four months. We are unwavering in our pledge to build a new Bangladesh," the chief adviser said.
"Those who are trying to create distance among us through cunning propaganda in the outside world have not only failed to do so but have instead inspired the entire nation to proudly and loudly proclaim its unity to the world," he said.
Prof Yunus said the unity that the students forged four months ago with a view to building a new Bangladesh free of discrimination to ensure civil rights, dignity, and democracy defying the intimidation of the tyrants is still remaining as strong as a rock.
Just a few days ago, he said, the nation roared again and told the entire world about it.
The chief adviser hoped this sheer unity of the nation would keep this year's Victory Day a memorable one and establish it in a unique place in history.
He congratulated all regardless of opinions and party affiliation for this historic achievement.
"With the strength of this unity, we will be able to ensure quick solutions to all the problems we have," the chief adviser said.
