On the first anniversary of her government’s fall, Sheikh Hasina condemned the interim regime led by Muhammad Yunus and urged Bangladeshis to keep fighting for democracy. She praised public resilience and vowed that the country would rise again, stronger and freer.
Dhaka: As Bangladesh marked one year since the fall of the democratically elected Awami League government on Tuesday, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina slammed the current interim regime and hailed the people for standing up in the face of “injustice and repression.”
In an open letter, the people of the country, Hasina wrote, “One year ago today, our nation witnessed the violent interruption of our hard-fought democracy, as an unelected regime seized power through unconstitutional means. It was a dark moment in our history, an affront to the will of the people, and a betrayal of the trust between citizens and the State.”
