Hasina Accuses Yunus of Power Grab With Militant Aid, and U.S. Complicity

Former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, has accused interim government chief Muhammad Yunus of colluding with the United States and extremist groups to seize power, calling the recent ban on her party, the Awami League, 바카라�unconstitutional바카라� and 바카라�illegal.바카라�

In an audio message published on her party바카라�s official Facebook page, Hasina alleged that Yunus had 바카라�sold the nation to the United States바카라� and claimed that her ouster was orchestrated with the support of banned militant organisations.

바카라�He has seized power with the help of terrorists, even those who are banned in various international arenas, against whom my government protected the people of Bangladesh,바카라� Hasina said. 바카라�Now prisons are empty. They released everyone. Now Bangladesh is the reign of those militants.바카라� She said.

In an invocation of her father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Hasina warned against foreign influence, stating: 바카라�My father did not agree to America's demands for St. Martin's Island. He had to give his life for that. And that was my destiny as I never thought of selling the country to stay in power.바카라�

Calling Yunus a 바카라�militant leader,바카라� Hasina rejected the legitimacy of his role as Chief Adviser, arguing that the position has no constitutional standing. 바카라�Who gave this militant leader, who has illegally seized power, the right to touch the constitution? He does not have the people's mandate and has no constitutional basis.바카라�

Yunus, a Nobel laureate and founder of Grameen Bank, was appointed head of the interim government on August 7, 2024, following a wave of student-led protests that forced Hasina to resign and leave the country. His administration now faces mounting criticism after reports emerged that the military and opposition parties have demanded that general elections be held by December.

The interim government has not publicly responded to the allegations. But Hasina바카라�s statement highlights the deepening rift between the exiled Awami League, the caretaker administration, and Bangladesh바카라�s increasingly assertive military.

Yunus바카라�s administration has not responded to these allegations at the time of reporting.

Hasina바카라�s statement underscores the widening rift between the exiled Awami League, the transitional administration, and Bangladesh바카라�s increasingly assertive military. Once celebrated abroad for his pioneering work in microfinance, Yunus now faces sharp domestic scrutiny. His ability to hold the centre amid calls for elections, student-led reform movements, and the re-emergence of the opposition BNP remains uncertain.
