Fear and Fury: Exiled Hasina Accuses Yunus of Orchestrating Violence Against Minorities
New York: Deposed Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has delivered a scathing indictment of the interim government, placing blame squarely at the feet of Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus. Speaking from exile, Hasina delivered a virtual address, emphasizing the rapidly deteriorating human rights situation, especially targeting minority groups.
"What is this persecution of minorities about? Why are they under relentless attack?" Hasina questioned, her voice laced with urgency. She decried the violence, outlining what she termed a carefully orchestrated campaign of terror. According to Hasina, recent attacks on Hindus, Buddhists, and Christians, culminating in the destruction of eleven churches and desecration of numerous temples, are not isolated incidents. She invokes the arrest of the leader of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), underscoring the severity of the situation.
Speaking to a global audience, Hasina addressed the growing inquest in India at Bangladesh’s worsening human rights record and highlighted senior citizens fleeing their homes fearing for their lives, drawn by the unchecked violence against minorities.
Her ouster and the tumultuous storming of her official residence, Ganabhaban, in August remain vivid in the former Prime Minister’s mind.
"Armed protestors were directed towards Ganabhaban," Hasina recounted during her address, adding "If the security guards had opened fire, many1 lives would have been lost. I was forced to leave, and I told them – don’t fire no matter what happened."
This attack against the former scents a carefully orchestrated move by the interim government, she contends, citing, "Yunus," a predecessor often suffocioc televised to amplify a narrative of effective governance howeveratering a narrative and highlighting敢any distinctionsful.

## Fear and Fury: An Interview on the Situation in Bangladesh
**Host:** Joining us today is Dr. Anwar Hasan, Senior Research Fellow at the Center for South Asian Studies, to discuss the recent accusations made by exiled Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina against Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus. Dr. Hasan, thank you for joining us.
**Dr. Hasan:** Thank you for having me.
**Host:** Dr. Hasan, Sheikh Hasina has accused Yunus of orchestrating a campaign of violence against religious minorities in Bangladesh. These are serious allegations. What is your take on this?
**Dr. Hasan:** The accusations are indeed serious, and it’s important to treat them with the gravity they deserve. While Sheikh Hasina has presented a compelling narrative from her perspective, it’s crucial to remember this is only one side of the story.
**Host:** Can you elaborate on that?
**Dr. Hasan:**
Certainly. Hasina’s accusations stem from her own ousting and the tumultuous situation that followed. She points to the violence against Hindus, Buddhists, and Christians, including the destruction of churches and temples, as evidence of a targeted campaign. She also cites the arrest of the ISKCON leader as a disturbing development.
It is vital to investigate these incidents thoroughly and independently to determine the extent of any orchestrated violence and the roles of different actors, including Muhammad Yunus.
**Host:** But Hasina directly accuses Yunus of being behind this violence. How does that fit into the larger picture?
**Dr. Hasan:** It’s important to remember the context. Hasina and Yunus have a long and complex history, marked by both collaboration and political rivalry.
Their relationship has been strained in recent years. It’s possible that these accusations are, in part, fueled by their political animosity.
However, that doesn’t mean we should dismiss her claims outright. Her concerns about the safety of minorities, the rise of violence, and the shrinking democratic space in Bangladesh are legitimate and deserve serious scrutiny.
**Host:** What are the potential ramifications of these allegations, both domestically and internationally?
**Dr. Hasan:** This situation is incredibly delicate. Domestically, it further polarizes an already divided Bangladesh, deepening the trust deficit between different groups.
Internationally, it attracts unwanted attention to an already fragile democracy, potentially impacting Bangladesh’s relationship with key partner countries.
**Host:** Dr. Hasan, thank you for providing your expert analysis on this difficult and complex issue.
**Dr. Hasan:** Thank you for having me.
