Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had to resign from her post and flee the country. The student movement that started last month took such a violent turn on Monday that the protesters started moving towards the Prime Minister’s residence in Dhaka and PM Hasina had to leave the country in a hurry. Bangladesh Army Chief General Waqar-uz-Zaman has said that an interim government will be formed to run the country. Some well-known people of Pakistan are very happy with the huge upheaval in Bangladesh and they are celebrating the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s government.
Former Pakistani diplomat Abdul Basit, who was the High Commissioner of Pakistan to India, released a video as soon as the news of Sheikh Hasina’s resignation came out and expressed his happiness over it.
He said, ‘Many congratulations to the people of Bangladesh. Sheikh Hasina has fled from Bangladesh and reached India. This will upset Prime Minister Modi and India a lot… In fact, recently he had even started saying that whatever is happening in Bangladesh, Pakistan has a hand in it because Pakistan supports the opposition parties of Bangladesh. I would like to say that unless the people are with you, no one’s support works.’

Abdul Basit further said that if Sheikh Hasina had resigned a month ago, 300 students would not have lost their lives. Meanwhile, Abdul Basit did not stop from dragging India into this.
He said, ‘Sheikh Hasina made Bangladesh a satellite country of India and she kept playing into India’s hands. When Pakistan tried to shake hands with her, she did not respond. Her hatred against Pakistan created many obstacles in taking the relations between Pakistan and Bangladesh forward. Now whenever a new government comes in Bangladesh, Pakistan will welcome it.’
Pakistan’s defense expert Qamar Cheema has also expressed happiness over Sheikh Hasina’s exit from power. He has written on the social media site X that Sheikh Hasina has ended her political innings in a very bad way.
He wrote, ‘Sheikh Hasina has ended her political career in a very bad way because she had become an autocratic leader.’
Well-known journalists of Pakistan have also expressed their happiness over the removal of Sheikh Hasina from power. Journalist Ihtisham Ul Haq has made several tweets in this regard on his social media account X.
In a tweet, he wrote, ’15 years of Hasina’s dictatorship…the era of banning opposition parties and putting their leaders in jail is over. The people of Bangladesh have ousted the Prime Minister who came to power through a fake mandate and fraud. This is a big victory for the people of Bangladesh.’
Fifteen years have passed since Hasina Wajid’s dictatorship, banning the opposition party and putting its leaders in jail. The people of Bangladesh have shown the way out to the Prime Minister who came to power through fraud and fake mandate. This is a huge victory for the people of Bangladesh.
