Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned from the post of Prime Minister and has left from there. Amid the fierce violence and arson in the country, Sheikh Hasina is once again leaving her country and coming to India. In the year 1975 and in the same month of August, Sheikh Hasina’s life was in danger in the coup in Bangladesh, then India gave her life. She came from there and took refuge in Delhi. Let’s know what happened then.
Sheikh Mujibur’s life was lost in the coup
On 15 August 1975, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his family were murdered. At that time, Sheikh Hasina came to Delhi from Germany. She lived in Delhi till 1981. Let us tell you, her husband was working as a nuclear scientist in Germany. After the assassination of her father, she went to Bangladesh in 1981 and took over her father’s political legacy. Her father, mother and 3 brothers were killed in the coup. At the time when Sheikh Hasina’s family was murdered, she was 28 years old. She is the youngest sister among the siblings.
That day of 15 August 1975…
That period of 1975 is no less than a scary memory for Sheikh Hasina. According to a BBC report, during that time her husband Dr. Wajed and sister Rehana were staying with Bangladesh’s ambassador Sanaul Haque in Brussels. From here, they all had to go to Paris, they were making plans when at 6:30 in the morning, Ambassador Sanaul Haque’s phone rang. This call was from Bangladesh’s ambassador to Germany Humayun Rashid.

Where Sheikh Hasina was a guest, she was immediately asked to leave the house
He told that there has been a military revolt in Bangladesh this morning. You all should return to Germany immediately instead of going to Paris. But, as soon as Ambassador Sanaul Haq came to know that Sheikh Mujibur was killed in the military revolt, he refused to give any help to his two daughters and son-in-law. Not only this, he also asked Sheikh Hasina’s family to leave their house as soon as possible. Recalling that incident, Sheikh Hasina herself had said in a program that we became a burden for them, although Sheikh Mujibur (Sheikh Hasina’s father) had made her Bangladesh’s ambassador to Belgium and that was a political appointment. He also refused to give us a car to go to Germany.
From there she reached Germany
From here, both the sisters reached Germany with the help of Bangladesh’s ambassador to Germany Humayun Rashid Chowdhury. In a short while, Bangladesh’s foreign minister Dr Kamal Hussain, who was on a visit to Yugoslavia, also reached there. When the media got the news, they started gathering there but Sheikh Hasina and her sister Rehana were so shocked that they did not talk to them. The President of Yugoslavia also talked to them but it could not be decided where they would stay.
How did you get refuge in India
Humayun Rashid Chowdhury’s son Nauman Rashid Chowdhury shared this story in an article in a famous Bangladeshi newspaper. In which he told the circumstances under which his father called Indira Gandhi’s office. He was not expecting that this call would go beyond the telephone operator. But he was stunned when Indira Gandhi herself received that call. He told Indira Gandhi everything. Indira Gandhi immediately agreed to give political asylum to these two daughters. On August 24, 1975, Sheikh Hasina and her family reached Delhi’s Palam airport by Air India plane. A joint secretary of the cabinet received them. First they were taken to RAW’s safe house. After this they were sent to a house in Defense Colony.
