Former chief adviser of the Interim Government Muhammad Yunus was confronted by Bangladeshi expatriates at John F Kennedy (JFK) International Airport in New York, USA.
He arrived at the airport from Doha on a Qatar Airways flight on Monday. In a video circulated on social media, several expatriates were seen making various comments targeting Yunus as he was exiting the airport in a wheelchair, including “You are a terrorist” and “Go back”. Later, security personnel quickly moved him away from there.
Several individuals present at the scene said Lamiya Morshed, who was accompanying him at the time, also quickly went inside the airport. However, the identities of the expatriates involved in this incident and detailed information regarding the event could not be confirmed.
