New Delhi: In a blistering attack on Bangladesh’s Interim Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina accused him of “courting Islamabad” and “trying to erase Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s name from history”. Since he took charge of the interim government following her dramatic ouster in August last year, Dhaka and Islamabad have strengthened ties, marking a departure from decades of estrangement rooted in the 1971 Liberation War.

Speaking exclusively to WION’s Sidhant Sibal, Hasina alleged that Yunus’s government has “opened the doors to radicals”, thrown the country into “total chaos” and “realigned foreign policy without a mandate”.

She claimed the once-booming economy is now “in freefall”, journalists are being silenced and minorities live in fear under Yunus’s rule.
