New York: Ousted Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today launched a scathing attack on the Mohammad Yunus government of Bangladesh, saying that they are committing genocide in the country and torturing minorities.
Along with this, he said that the aim of the terrorists was to kill him and his sister in the same way as their father was killed. (Sheikh Mujib ur Rahman, who made Bangladesh an independent country, was assassinated in 1975.
This was Sheikh Hasina’s first public speech after assuming the throne in India. Sheikh Hasina, who was present ‘virtually’ at an event organized in New York, expressed deep sorrow over the current situation in her country and said that not only Hindus but all minorities including Christians, Parsis, Sikhs, Buddhists and Jews are under attack. No one is safe or secure.
After this, speaking about himself, he said that on August 5, armed rioters attacked my official residence ‘Gana Bhavan’ so fiercely that I did not even get time to resign. I and my sister Rehana narrowly escaped death. But before that I had given strict instructions to the armed guards not to open fire, but when they were attacked, they opened fire in self-defence, so to speak, so they had to open fire. However, I have been accused of murder. In fact, Yunus is the ‘culprit’ of the massacres taking place there. They deal with it in a systematic and calculated manner. The masterminds behind these attacks are the student coordinator and Yunus. That is why the Dhaka based authority of Bangladesh does not protect the minorities.
Sheikh Hasina once again expressed pride and said that no Hindu, Buddhist or Christian is left behind. Oho! Churches are also being demolished. Hindu temples are being demolished, Buddhist temples are also being demolished. When Hindus protested, one of their saints was killed.
In this way Sheikh Hasina indirectly mentioned the arrest of Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishnadas. After this he said, ‘Why are minorities oppressed? Why are they being attacked so brutally?
