Sheikh Hasina: Bangladesh 'Bleeding, on Edge of Abyss' Under Yunus Interim Govt

• Ousted PM Sheikh Hasina, in exile in Delhi, sharply criticized the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government in Bangladesh.
• She described Bangladesh as a "vast prison, an execution ground, a valley of death" and accused Yunus of being a "usurer, money launderer, plunderer, and a corrupt, power-hungry traitor."
• Hasina alleged a "meticulously engineered conspiracy" led to her ouster on August 5, 2024, plunging the nation into terror and exiling democracy.
• She called for the ouster of the "foreign-serving puppet regime" and urged Bangladeshis to unite to restore democracy and the Constitution.
• The Awami League, led by Hasina, has had its registration suspended, and its activities banned by the interim government ahead of February 12 elections.
