Sheikh Hasina Accuses Interim Leader Muhammad Yunus of Undemocratic Rule on Bijoy Dibosh
The ousted Bangladeshi leader alleges Nobel laureate Yunus is undermining Liberation War values and supporting extremist forces.
- Sheikh Hasina, former Bangladeshi prime minister, criticized interim leader Muhammad Yunus, calling him a 'fascist' leading an undemocratic administration.
- In her statement on the eve of Bijoy Dibosh, Hasina accused Yunus of suppressing pro-liberation forces and eroding the spirit of Bangladesh's Liberation War of 1971.
- Hasina alleged the interim government has halted social welfare programs, leaving millions of citizens struggling with rising prices and poverty.
- She claimed the Yunus-led administration supports extremist and anti-independence forces while seeking to erase the history and ideals of the Liberation War.
- Currently in India after resigning in August, Hasina continues to denounce the interim government, which has reportedly strained India-Bangladesh relations.
