Bangladesh News | Amidst Huge Oppposition, Muhammad Yunus Announces Referendum

The issue of a referendum has been a political hot potato in Bangladesh with the hardline Islamist party the Jamaat-E-Islami Bangladesh demanding a referendum and the main Opposition party, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) opposing the referendum.
