Awami League slams interim govt for undermining spirit of 1971 Liberation War

Dhaka, Dec 1 (UNI) The Bangladesh's Awami League on Monday accused the Muhammad Yunus–led interim government of attempting to erode the spirit of the country's 1971 Liberation War, as the nation enters December — its symbolic victory month marking the defeat of Pakistan and the birth of an independent Bangladesh.
In a strongly worded statement, the party alleged that the Yunus administration was seeking to diminish the prestige of Bangladesh's independence and push the country towards what it described as "subservience to external powers".
"The real objective of today's illegitimate Yunus group is to diminish the glory of Bangladesh's independence. As they serve external powers, they want the entire nation to embrace that subservience without question," the statement said.
