Allah Saved Me for a Purpose': Defiant Sheikh Hasina Vows to Return to Bangladesh

Dhaka: Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has directly challenged Mohammad Yunus. She has given a message to her supporters that she will return to Bangladesh and those who target the members of her party Awami League will be brought to justice. Awami League President Sheikh Hasina, who had to flee Bangladesh to India after a violent movement, while interacting with the family members of her party leaders on social media, said that "Allah has kept me alive for some reason and the day will come when justice will be served."

Targeting the Chief Advisor of the Interim Government of Bangladesh, Muhammad Yunus, Sheikh Hasina said that he is "a person who never loved the people". Sheikh Hasina has said that "He lent small amounts of money at high interest rates and used that money to live luxuriously abroad. We could not understand his duplicity then, so we helped him a lot. But the people did not get any benefit. He did good for himself. Then he created such a lust for power that is burning Bangladesh today."

Sheikh Hasina further said that Bangladesh has now become a "terrorist country". She said that "Our leaders and workers are being killed in a way that cannot be described in words. Awami League, police, lawyers, journalists, artists, everyone is being targeted." Apart from this, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has also accused the media in Bangladesh of being clamped down. "Rape, murder, robbery, nothing can be reported. And if reported, the TV channel or newspaper will be targeted," she said.

"I lost my father, mother, brother, everybody in one day. And then they didn't let us return to the country. I know the pain of losing your people. Allah protects me, maybe he wants to do something good through me. Those who have committed these crimes should be punished. This is my vow," said former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
