Sheikh Hasina claims that the United States is behind the ouster of A. League
Dhaka: The president of the party Sheikh Hasina believes that the United States is responsible for ousting the Awami League government, which has been in power for 15 and a half years.
Sheikh Hasina claims that she has been ousted because she did not hand over the St. Martin island to increase the monopoly in the Bay of Bengal as stated by the United States.
Anandabazar reported that former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina spoke to the country's National Security Advisor Ajit Doval several times after fleeing Bangladesh and taking refuge in India. She also spoke to Indian security and diplomatic officials.
Sheikh Hasina directly blamed the US for the situation in Bangladesh and the 'unfair' ousting of the Awami League government.
According to related sources, the speech she wanted to give to the countrymen before leaving the country also contains this statement. Sheikh Hasina said that she was ousted as a punishment for not handing over the St. Martin to them to increase the monopoly in the Bay of Bengal as America said. She warned Bangladeshis not to be led by fundamentalists.
Sources who spoke to Sheikh Hasina after her visit to India said that she was forced to resign in order not to see the 'corpse procession'. Bangabandhu's daughter did not want power to be transferred over the bodies of students. She did not want more of the country to be wasted. According to her, she could have remained in power if she had handed over the sovereignty of the island of St. Martin to America and let that country spin the stick in the Bay of Bengal.
Sheikh Hasina also said that she was forced to take a difficult decision like leaving the country. The former prime minister expressed hope that she will return to her country. She thinks that Awami League has stood again and again and will stand again. She also said that she was very saddened by the news of many leaders of her party being killed and houses being burnt.
