Muhammad Yunus The “Mastermind” Behind Bangladesh Turmoil: Sheikh Hasina

Dhaka:

Bangladesh’s former PM Sheikh Hasina has launched a fierce attack on the interim administration, accusing its Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus of running a “fascist regime” that allows terrorists and fundamentalists to act without restraint.

In a virtual address to a gathering of overseas Awami League supporters in London on Sunday, Ms Hasina accused Mr Yunus of being the “mastermind” behind the July-August turmoil that ousted her government and vowed to bring him and his allies to justice under Bangladeshi law.

She criticised Mr Yunus and his interim government for their alleged persecution of religious minorities in Bangladesh.

“Since August 5, the attacks on minorities, places of worship of Hindus, Christians and Buddhists have been rampant. We condemn it. The Jamaat and terrorists are having a free run under the new regime,” she said.
