He also said, ‘I am a journalist. I have questioned power in the last two decades. I have criticized Khaleda Gita and Sheikh Hasina. I also criticize the Yunus government and will also criticize those who will come to the government in the future. I have no history of being knee-jerk in my life. I have not taken any advantage. They want to make me a slave of the government. I have said that I have said that I have said that I have not been exposed to the government.’

Acknowledging the statement that Grameen Bank and July Memorial Museum may be attacked, he said, ‘I said this in a context when I broke number 32. We went to the politics of revenge. I wanted to hear Sheikh Hasina's resignation in July. Now I have to listen to the spirit of my July 13. They have spoken of the fugitive leaders, they have done as fugitives, I have no connection with these statements. I don't know anyone among the accused, Shaon Chaza. If Yunus wants to make the country a prison or hell, you can make it.’

I have been arrested today.’
