Dhaka: Sheikh Hasina, the Bangladesh Prime Minister in exile, then told party workers at a virtual meeting on Monday night that she would definitely return to the country shortly. Hasina has kept in touch with her party members while in exile, and this time, her speech demonstrated the usual arrogance that marks all her speeches. During the phone-in, she told supporters, “Don’t panic. I will be back very soon.”
Deep Conspiracy and Corruption at Home: Hasina Blames Mohammad Yunus
Targeting the country’s caretaker government chief adviser, Mohammad Yunus, Hasina also said he has been plotting a deep conspiracy against the country. She said, “That began a conspiracy against me when I turned Bangladesh into a developing nation. The country became a breeding ground for terrorists. What was left at the end of it was someone who had no sympathy for the people and ascended to power.
In her comments, she went on to accuse Yunus of what she described as “abusing” his bank, the Grameen Bank, further to charge small loans at dearly high interest rates. Yunus takes the profits from these loans to live a life of luxury overseas while the public, gulled into believing he is helping the poor, pays for his sins,’ she charged. We supported him because we thought he was doing good for the poor.” Afterward, he pocketed the public funds. She stated that Bangladesh’s current state of turmoil is a result of his lust for power.
Hasina feels sorry for the slain party activist.
In the 1 hour and 11 minute-long address, Sheikh Hasina spoke not only about politics but also listened to the demands of the leaders and workers of her party and their family members. She even addressed them at one point, saying, “Maybe Allah kept me alive for some great work. Don’t worry; you will see me again in just a little while.
Hasina then mentioned the student, Abu Sayeed, who was killed by rubber bullets from protesters by the Bangladesh police. She stated, “They wanted the student’s body, actually. But I had heard that he received a blow to the head. But they didn’t even allow for basic treatment before creating a ruckus at the hospital when he was taken there for treatment.”
That speech was a heartbreaking realization—it was the confluence of political reality and the personal grief of her supporters.
