Following the fall of the Hasina government in August 2024, Mohammad Yunus assumed the role of Chief Advisor. Recently, a viral video falsely claimed that the U.S. had imposed sanctions on Dr. Yunus and 20 others for insulting Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and Sheikh Hasina. Investigations revealed that the video was manipulated by merging clips from two separate news reports. Fact-checking platform Rumor Scanner has labeled it as propaganda and fake news.
