Sheikh Hasina, former Prime Minister of Bangladesh has strongly criticized Professor Muhammad Yunus, accusing him of obstructing the electoral process in Bangladesh. She claimed to provide most possible benefits to Muhammad Yunus in the past days and till date, all the remarks she made to warn, have been proven accurate. According to Hasina, Yunus is using public rhetoric about elections. He is going to manipulate war conditions, while planning to stage simulated conflicts to argue that the country is not ready for voting
In a speech aired on the Awami League’s official Facebook page Saturday night, Hasina stated that Yunus has been traveling around, presenting himself as a favored leader. She questioned who among the people want to see him in power, suggesting that his popularity is manufactured.Yunus has funded and formed a team of 40-member to carry out professional-style propaganda on social media, aimed at manipulating public perception.
Hasina also raised concerns about the deteriorating law and order situation in the country, saying that citizens are living in fear due to rising criminal activities, including hijacking, theft and armed robbery. She continued to express her worries about those women who once protested for freedom are now confined indoors and called on them to reflect on their current situation compared to the past.
The Former Prime Minister further stated that she is being labeled a “dictatorial mass murderer,” and questioned why a judicial commission she had previously established was later dissolved. She speculated whether the closure is aimed at protecting the actual perpetrators. Hasina emphasized that a full forensic investigation into the deaths during recent unrest could expose who are truly responsible. She called for a proper probe into the origins of the weapons and ammunition used during the turmoil and alleged that individuals who looted police stations and used illegal arms must be held accountable.
The former prime minister said that Professor Dr. Yunus, once who embezzled workers’ money, is now stuck to power like super glue. He will never leave this power, he will only kill the time by talking nonsense but will not take any initiative to organize elections. Sheikh Hasina questioned the necessity of these “war games” and “humanitarian corridors”. Despite having a lot of empty space in Myanmar, why should Bangladesh be used as a corridor? She expresses her worries mentioning this humanitarian corridor is endangering a lot for. Bangladesh’s security, economy, social security as well as threatening to Independence and sovereignty.
Highlighting the difference between her administration and the current interim government, referring to her tenure, Hasina said border security was firmly maintained even during the presence of the Arakan Army. She criticized the interim government’s claims of losing control over the borders and blamed Yunus for the deterioration in state stability, saying that his leadership is endangering the nation.She also accused Yunus of lacking genuine concern for Bangladesh, mentioning his significant wealth abroad and suggesting he could flee at any moment, leaving the country in crisis.
In her closing remarks, Sheikh Hasina declared that Yunus’s governance has caused significant damage to the country’s economy and independence within the period of a few months. She said that someone convicted by a labor court and accused of embezzling workers’ wages has no legitimacy to lead the nation. Hasina concluded by demanding Yunus’s removal to safeguard the country’s independence, restore public safety, and protect the best interests of farmers, workers, and the general populace.
