Bangladesh has become a topic of discussion at the global level these days. From the protests of students against reservation to the coup of Sheikh Hasina government and the formation of the interim government, everyone’s eyes were on it. America is being blamed for this coup in Bangladesh, which the American government has called ridiculous.
On the allegations of America’s role behind the coup of Sheikh Hasina government in Bangladesh, the US State Department termed them ridiculous and completely false.
US State Department Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel said that such allegations are completely ridiculous. Allegations of the US government having any role in Sheikh Hasina’s resignation are completely false.
He said that many kinds of false information have come to the fore regarding the recent developments in Bangladesh, which has affected the social fabric.
Earlier, in a recent interview, US foreign policy expert Michael Kugelman had rejected the allegations of foreign interference in the dismissal of Sheikh Hasina. He said that there is no evidence to confirm these allegations. The Sheikh Hasina government took strict action against the protesters, which intensified this movement.

Kugelman said that my opinion on this is very simple and clear. I see it as a crisis that arose entirely due to internal reasons. It was a movement run by students who were unhappy with a particular issue. They were angry about reservation in government jobs. But the Sheikh Hasina government took strict action against the students, due to which this movement kept growing. It was completely motivated by internal reasons.
How did the movement start in Bangladesh?
Reservation in government jobs in Bangladesh was given to the families of those who played a role in the freedom struggle against Pakistan. Fierce protests had started there against this quota. Sheikh Hasina tried to stop this movement with both strategy and force but both the efforts failed. In the end, she accepted all the demands of the protesters, but the protesters insisted on her resignation. Accepting the demands of the protesters, Sheikh Hasina resigned from the post and went to India, she has been in India since then.
