Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has made a pointed statement regarding her resignation, which came amidst widespread unrest in the country. In her first public comments since stepping down, Hasina alluded to the United States’ involvement in her decision. She claimed that she resigned to avoid witnessing further violence, stating, “I resigned to avoid witnessing further violence. They aimed to seize power over the dead bodies of students, but I prevented that by resigning.” Her remarks, as reported by The Economic Times, suggest a belief that forces within the country were attempting to exploit the unrest for political gain. The situation in Bangladesh remains tense, with the political landscape in flux following Hasina’s departure.
