Chief adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus is scheduled to hold a meeting with religious leaders today (Thursday) after reaffirming national unity during a meeting with political parties at the Foreign Service Academy on Wednesday.

The meeting is likely to begin at 4:00pm according to the chief adviser’s press wing.

Prof Yunus on Wednesday declared that no force could undermine the solidarity forged since August 5 or deprive the nation of its hard-earned freedom.

‘The nation stands on a solid foundation, and it will remain steadfast. No one can break our unity or strip us of our freedom,’ Professor Yunus said in his concluding remarks during his meeting with political leaders.

He acknowledged the presence of differing opinions among the people but emphasised that there was no division regarding the collective unity of the nation.

Professor Yunus also held a meeting with student leaders on Tuesday evening. ‘Professor Yunus called the students to help rebuild the nation,’ chief adviser’s press secretary Shafiqul Alam told UNB after the meeting.

The press secretary hoped that the citizen groups, Bangladeshi diaspora, political parties, and civil society would raise their voices against the massive misinformation campaign against Bangladesh.
