The Bangladesh government, led by Mohammad Yunus, has moved to revoke the court ruling declaring "Joy Bangla" as the national slogan. The slogan, coined by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, symbolized inspiration during Bangladesh's liberation war. The government filed an appeal in the High Court, aiming to invalidate the previous ruling. Critics believe the move may be linked to erasing memories of Mujib's legacy. This follows other controversial actions, including the cancellation of August 15th as a national mourning day. "Joy Bangla" had been widely used in official contexts since a 2008 High Court decision.
