Muhammad Yunus asked the people to look for the source of the rumour whenever they hear any such misleading gossip instead of ignoring them.
Bangladesh Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus on Tuesday said Bangladesh was witnessing a "festival of rumours" against his administration, blaming it on "the defeated force" -- an apparent reference to deposed premier Sheikh Hasina's regime.
"The rumours are big instruments of the defeated forces against the July-August (2024) Uprising," he said in a nationwide televised address on the eve of Bangladesh's 53rd Independence Day on March 26 when the country in 1971 declared independence from the then Pakistan followed by a nine-month Liberation War.
