Former Bangladesh PM urges party members to unite people against Yunus' ‘illegal' government
Dhaka, June 12 (UNI) Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has urged party leaders and activists to stand by the people, unite them, and launch a robust movement to oust the 'illegal' interim government led by 'conspirator and mob king', Chief Advisor Mohammed Yunus.
In her latest audio message, the 77-year-old Awami League president called Yunus, his aides, and student coordinators criminals, accusing them of plundering public funds, killing Awami League members, and looting their homes and businesses.
She alleged that the leaders of the so-called Anti-Discrimination Movement are now ironically fostering discrimination across the country, promoting the rampant rise of Islamic extremism and eroding its political fabric, reports the party's media agency Daily Republic.
Sheikh Hasina noted that the anti-quota movement remained peaceful until July 15, but thereafter, protesters began attacking police, torching government buildings, and blocking roads.
Accusing the SAD members of targeting police and military personnel, she highlighted her administration's work in domestic security, stating that it necessary actions to protect lives and property. 'We did nothing wrong.'
She also slammed her rival party - the Bangladesh Nationalist Party led by ex-PM Khaleda Zia - for engaging in looting and terrorism and condemning the Jamaat-e-Islami for murders and cutting tendons.
Sheikh Hasina firmly stated that she never agreed to 'sell out the country to foreigners.'
Stating that she never once agreed to sell out the country's Saint Martin Island or allow a military base in the Bay of Bengal, she said 'I could have come to power in 2001 if I had agreed to sell gas. I gave shelter to 10 lakh Rohingyas on humanitarian grounds.
'I did not want conflict with the Myanmar government and did not allow insurgency and militancy using our land. Is this my crime?'
She further alleged that Yunus, his advisers, and coordinators would eventually flee the country, but those responsible for looting and killing would face justice. She criticised Yunus for failing to hold accountable those who killed police and Awami League members, instead granting them indemnity. UNI ANV SSP

ACB Summons KTR for Formula E Race Inquiry
The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has issued a notice to K. T. Rama Rao (KTR), the Working President of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and former Minister, requiring him to attend questioning on Monday, the 16th of this month at 10 am, in relation to the Formula E Race case. Previously, the ACB had summoned KTR on May 26, asking him to appear for questioning on May 28. However, he was unable to attend due to a tour in America. KTR informed the ACB of his foreign commitments and indicated his willingness to cooperate once he returned. The ACB subsequently agreed to reschedule and has now issued another notice for his appearance. It is important to note that KTR has previously attended questioning sessions with both the ACB and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) concerning the same case. On January 6, he arrived at the ACB for an inquiry with his legal team but departed when officials did not permit him to enter. He returned to the ACB for questioning on January 8, where he was interrogated for approximately seven hours. Although he was called again on January 9, KTR requested additional time to respond to the inquiry. In addition, the ACB has questioned Arvind Kumar, Secretary of the Municipal Department, and BLN Reddy, the former Chief Engineer of HMDA, as part of its investigation. The inquiry stems from allegations of the misuse of ₹55 crores related to the Formula E race, which was held in Hyderabad during the BRS administration.
