The remarks came after a court in Bangladesh issued fresh arrest warrants against the former PM.
Dhaka: Former Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina has warned the country's interim head Muhammad Yunus saying, "If you play with fire, it will burn you too". In her latest address to the Awami League supporters on social media, She accused Yunus of hatching a foreign conspiracy to destroy Bangladesh.
“All signs of Bangladesh's freedom movement are being removed. Mukti Joddhas (freedom fighters) are being insulted. We had built Mukti Joddha Complexes in all districts to keep their memory alive, but those are being burnt down. Will Yunus be able to justify this?”
Her remarks came after a court in Bangladesh issued fresh arrest warrants against Hasina, her son Sajeeb Wajed and 16 others, in two cases related to alleged irregularities in allocating residential plots on the outskirts of the capital.
The ousted PM who has taken refuge in India after August 5, 2024, following unprecedented student protests in Bangladesh over the reservation row, said the end of Awami League's regime has given an "industrial shock" to Bangladesh. "Thousands of factories have been shut. Those linked to Awami League leaders have been burnt down. Industries are being finished. Hotels, hospitals, everything is being destroyed," she said.
She also accused Yunus of "destroying" Bangladesh for his "hunger for power". "How will this country run if the law enforcement personnel are being murdered in public? Doesn't Yunus understand this? Or is he guiding the country to doomsday? Yunus is destroying our country out of hunger for power," she alleged.
