Days after the Tarique Rehman-led new government took charge of Bangladesh, the South Asian nation’s president, Mohammed Shahabuddin, has accused the former chief adviser, Nobel laureate Mohammad Yunus, of “conspiring” to remove him from office in an unconstitutional manner. In an interview with Bangladeshi Bengali daily Kaler Kantho, Shahabuddin claimed that during Yunus’s tenure, attempts were made to destabilise Bangladesh and create a constitutional vacuum. “During those one and a half years, I have not been in any discussion, yet various conspiracies are being hatched against me. There have been many attempts to permanently destroy the peace and order of the country and create a constitutional vacuum,” he said in the interview given at Bangabhaban, the President’s official residence in Dhaka.
