Political turmoil has intensified in Bangladesh. A meeting of all major political parties was held on Wednesday. Bangladesh’s legal advisor Asif Najrul was also present in it. During this, he made sharp statements against India. Asif said that Bangladesh is united against India’s propaganda and will counter any kind of provocation. He also said that Bangladesh will not look like a weak country, but will face all challenges with unity and bravery.
Soon after this statement, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina launched a strong attack on her party’s political rival and interim government head Mohammad Yunus. Sheikh Hasina said that Mohammad Yunus has failed to stop the atrocities being committed on minority Hindus in Bangladesh. Hasina alleged that Yunus actively participated in the massacre of Hindus and not only this, a conspiracy was also hatched to kill his father Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and sister Sheikh Rehana.
That’s why Sheikh Hasina left the country
The Bangladesh Prime Minister also mentioned the incident of violence in Dhaka on August 5 in her virtual address. She told how armed protesters tried to enter her official residence Ganabhaban. Sheikh Hasina said that if the security guards had opened fire, many people would have been killed, but she told the guards not to shoot. After this incident, she was forced to leave the country. She told that this incident was only 25-30 minutes, but the situation had become so serious that she had to leave the country for safety.
What did Yunus say about Sheikh Hasina?
Meanwhile, Mohammad Yunus had also attacked Sheikh Hasina strongly. He alleged that Sheikh Hasina’s government has abolished democracy, seized power through fake elections, and declared herself and her party unopposed winners. Yunus described Hasina’s rule as a fascist regime, which is against democratic values.
However, Bangladesh leaders have not taken any concrete steps on this matter so far after issuing their statement against India. Given the political situation in Bangladesh and the chaos prevailing there, experts believe that the government should first try to stop the violence and attacks on minorities in its country. Bangladesh first needs to focus on its internal problems, not on external propaganda and rhetoric.
