A major conspiracy has been hatched to remove me from office – Major allegation by former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina

Violence in Bangladesh: Former Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina has made serious allegations and said that a huge conspiracy was hatched to remove her from office. She has accused the US of removing her from office. Hasina has said that the US planned to remove her from office because she did not give up the St. Martin island. She says that getting this island could help the US gain influence in the Bay of Bengal. Hasina warned the people of her country and said that they should not be misled by the fundamentalists. The Economics Times report states that Sheikh Hasina said these things in a message sent through her close aides. The Economic Times has obtained this message from Hasina. Sheikh Hasina resigned from her post as Prime Minister on August 5 after violent protests by students and left the country. She is currently living in a safe place in India.What Hasina wrote in the messageIn her message, Hasina said, “I have resigned so that I do not have to see a procession of dead bodies. They wanted to come to power on the dead bodies of students, but I did not allow that. I have resigned from the post of Prime Minister.” She further said, “I could have remained in power if I had given up sovereignty over St. Martin's Island and allowed America to establish its dominance over the Bay of Bengal. I request the people of my country not to be misled by the fundamentalists.”Kugelman denied the allegationsMichael Kugelman, director of the South Asia Institute at the Wilson Center, dismissed allegations by Sheikh Hasina's son Sajeeb Wazed Joy, who alleged foreign interference behind the protests, and said internal factors were responsible for the unrest in Bangladesh. The Hasina government's crackdown on the protesters had strengthened the movement. He said, “My view is very simple. I see it as a crisis caused solely by internal factors, by students who were dissatisfied with a particular issue, by work quotas they did not like, and they were angry with the government. Sheikh Hasina's government cracked down very harshly on the students, and after that the movement became much bigger and was driven solely by internal factors,” Kugelman said.
