Sheikh Hasina, the former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, fled to India after she was ousted by a student-led uprising in August 2024.

Bangladesh’s interim leader, Muhammad Yunus, slammed former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s public statements from Indian soil, claiming that he personally urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene and prevent her from addressing Bangladeshis online.

During an interaction at Chatham House, the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London, Yunus talked about the volatile political atmosphere in Bangladesh after Sheikh Hasina fled the country.

He further pointed towards the Bangladesh’s strained ties with India and said, “The whole anger and everything is now transferred to India, because she went there. Not only is she living there, but the problem is, when I had a chance to talk to Prime Minister Modi, I just simply said, ‘You want to host her? I cannot force you to abandon that policy, but please help us in making sure she doesn’t speak to Bangladeshi people, the way she is doing’."

According to Yunus, Hasina continues to address the Bangladeshi people through social media platforms, including YouTube and Facebook, often announcing these broadcasts in advance. Referring to Hasina’s addresses, Yunus said this provokes public anger in Bangladesh, creating an atmosphere of unrest.
