Sheikh Hasina Calls Leaving bangladesh ‘Toughest Decision’
“I am paying the price for not listening to the US. They wanted st Martin Island and I refused…My statement about Razakar is wrong and distorted…I never said these things and specially to my own people…," she had said in her address to the nation, which was stopped by the Army.
“My resignation was only to stop the bloodbath of my own people. The Opposition was playing in hands of invisible powers and wanted power in wrong way, which I refused. My departure in a way is good for the country and I want peace to prevail… I always wanted to serve you. Leaving bangladesh was the most difficult decision for me, but I had to take it," Hasina said.
According to intelligence sources, the West created an atmosphere for the fall of the government, using the students’ protests and anti-Hasina sentiment. United Kingdom-based David Burgan, activist Pinaki Bhattacharji, bangladesh Nationalist Party’s (BNP) Tarique Rehman and Netra news owners, and Muhammad Yunus, the now head of the interim government, were the “key coordinators", sources said.
“Strategic control of bangladesh was becoming important for the US as well as china and they tried their way to achieve it," said sources.
