Sheikh Hasina, who recently fled Bangladesh, has made serious accusations against interim government leader Muhammad Yunus. Speaking virtually to her party workers in New York, she blamed Yunus for organizing mass killings and attacks on minorities in Bangladesh.
Recent Key Developments took place in Bangladesh:-

Hasina’s Escape

Serious Accusations

- Draws parallel to her father’s assassination in 1975
Current Situation

Hasina emphasized she could have maintained power through force but chose to leave to prevent massive casualties. “I did not want a massacre. Had my security personnel opened fire, many would have died at Gana Bhavan,” she stated.
The former Prime Minister’s revelations come at a time when Bangladesh faces increasing religious tensions and political instability, with minority communities particularly vulnerable to violence.
