Sheikh Hasina Yunus | 'Yunus A Murderous Fascist': Sheikh Hasina In 1st Public Address In Exile

In her first address to a public gathering in India since leaving Bangladesh in 2024, former prime minister Sheikh Hasina launched a blistering attack on Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, accusing him of running an "illegal, violent" regime and plunging the country into what she described as an age of terror, lawlessness and democratic exile. Speaking via audio message to an audience at the Foreign Correspondents' Club in Delhi, Hasina framed the political crisis back home as an existential battle for Bangladesh's sovereignty and constitution, and called on her supporters to rise up to "overthrow the foreign-serving puppet regime." The event, titled 'Save Democracy in Bangladesh', was attended by several former ministers from Hasina's Awami League government and members of the Bangladeshi diaspora.
