Sheikh Hasina Accuses Unelected Politicians of Seizing Power in Bangladesh

Sheikh Hasina, the former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, has accused a group of unelected politicians of taking control of the government and using the court to remove her from power.

She expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the people of India for their support during her crisis.

Hasina criticized the interim government led by Mohammed Yunus, calling the verdict against her biased and politically motivated.

She also raised concerns about electoral reforms, foreign interference, and the banning of the Awami League.

Hasina emphasized the importance of free and fair elections and the need for independent international observers.

She mentioned the critical condition of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia and the sentencing of her niece, Tulip Siddiq, in absentia.

Additionally, she discussed the severe economic distress in Bangladesh and the need for stability and reforms.
