‘Sheikh Hasina should keep her mouth shut…’, Mohammad Yunus advised her and said – we will demand extradition from India

Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been in India since the coup in Bangladesh on August 5. She was forced to resign from her post and flee the country amid this coup. Meanwhile, the head of the new interim government of Bangladesh, Mohammad Yunus, has given a strong statement about Sheikh Hasina.

Mohammad Yunus says that Sheikh Hasina is making political statements about Bangladesh while sitting in India, which is not right. She will have to keep her mouth shut to maintain harmony between the two countries. We will request the Indian government for her extradition.

Yunus said that if India wants to keep Sheikh Hasina till her extradition to Bangladesh, then the condition for this is that Sheikh Hasina will have to remain silent. She will have to avoid political comments.

Mohammad Yunus said during an interview in Dhaka that Bangladesh prefers strong relations with India. India will also have to rise above the narrative in which it sees other parties of Bangladesh except Awami League as Islamic parties. India thinks that without Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh will turn into Afghanistan.

He said that we are not comfortable with Sheikh Hasina’s stance in India. We want her extradition as soon as possible so that she can be prosecuted. She is constantly making statements while staying in India, which is a problem. If she had sat quietly in India, we would have forgotten her. People of Bangladesh would also have forgotten her, but she is constantly making statements while sitting in India. Nobody likes this.

How did the movement start in Bangladesh?

Reservation in government jobs in Bangladesh was given to the families of those who had 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.

Meanwhile, on August 5, Sheikh Hasina resigned from the post of Prime Minister and came to India. At the same time, large-scale violence started in Bangladesh. Many police stations were attacked and set on fire. A large number of people died in the incidents of violence that broke out across the country. After this, an interim government was formed in Bangladesh under the leadership of Mohammad Yunus.
