The Crime Desk: The chief advisor of the interim government commented that the ousted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is conducting political activities in India. Muhammad Yunus. He said, for the time being, living in India is not a problem. The problem is his contact with Bangladesh. He is talking to the Bangladeshi people, and it is taking a political form. He continues his political activities; that is the problem.
Dr. recently. Muhammad Yunus said these things in an exclusive interview with the Indian media The Hindu at his residence in Dhaka.
Dr. Muhammad Yunus said she (Sheikh Hasina) is encouraging Bangladeshis to protest on the streets of Dhaka and other cities. These statements of his have been circulated. He’s asking Donald Trump to use him as a shield—to block the police, so they can say the Bangladeshi government is working against the United States. It is interference in the internal and external affairs of another country.
In spite of the extradition agreement between India and Bangladesh, why was there no formal request to bring back Sheikh Hasina? Yunus said, I think we are following the legal process, but we have not reached that stage yet.
How are the events of August 5 affecting India-Bangladesh bilateral relations? To this question, the Chief Adviser said, As a friendly country, India should celebrate that Bangladesh has been freed from a regime where people were suffering, many lives were lost, many were missing, and many institutions were destroyed. India should also join in celebrating our young generation and celebrate together, as many countries are doing.
In the whole interview, the chief adviser, Muhammad Yunus, touted the achievements of his government’s 100-day rule and dismissed concerns about fundamentalism and the safety of Hindus and other minorities in the country as ‘propaganda’.
