Bangladesh’s Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus declared that the defeated fascist forces will never return to the country, during a televised address to the nation on Victory Day, December 16, 2025. His speech, broadcast simultaneously on BTV, Bangladesh Betar, and private channels, urged citizens to remain united and vigilant ahead of the upcoming national elections.

Yunus warned that certain groups were attempting to destabilize the country before the polls, but assured that the government had identified those involved in recent conspiracies. Referring to the critical condition of Sharif Osman Hadi, who is receiving treatment in Singapore, he said all necessary measures had been taken for his safety and care. The Chief Adviser emphasized that no one involved in violent plots would be spared.

Calling for restraint and rejecting misinformation, Yunus urged the public not to fall for provocations. He reaffirmed that Bangladesh’s democratic journey would continue despite threats, and that fascist and terrorist elements would be decisively defeated.
