Signs of conspiracies by defeated forces becoming visible: CA Yunus
He made the remark during a meeting with leaders of 13 political parties this afternoon
Within a year of uprising, signs of various conspiracies by defeated forces are becoming more visible, Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus said today (23 July).
During a meeting with leaders of 13 political parties at the state guest house Jamuna this afternoon, he said, "On the first anniversary of the July uprising, our plan was to bring all political parties together to remember the past. That was the purpose behind our programmes. It would have made our unity against fascism visibly stronger. But even before a year has passed, signs of conspiracies by the defeated forces are emerging.
"Despite differences of opinion and political rivalry, the unity among political parties against fascism must be made more visible. Otherwise, they see it as an opportunity."
