Bangladesh's Yunus claims he had appealed to PM Modi over Sheikh Hasina's online speeches, citing ‘unrest'
Bangladesh Chief Adviser and head of the country's interim government Muhammad Yunus, while expressing frustration over comments made by former prime minister Sheikh Hasina's statements from India, claimed that he had reached out to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to intervene and stop her from addressing Bangladeshis. Yunus claimed that her online speeches were provocative and risked inciting unrest in the country. While speaking to Chatham House think tank director Bronwen Maddox in London on Wednesday (June 11), Yunus said: 'All the anger (against Hasina) has now transferred to India because she went there. When I had a chance to talk to Prime Minister Modi, I 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 (online).' Hasina, who was forced to flee Bangladesh in August 2024 following student-led protests against a government job quota system that escalated to violent clashes and unrest, was given refuge by India. 'She announces on such and such day at such and such hour, she will speak, and the whole of Bangladesh gets very angry, the way she is speaking. Why is she keeping this whole anger thing inside of us now? And is India doing what you asked? No. Mr Modi's answer, I quote, he said, 'It's the social media, we cannot control it',' the Bangladesh interim leader claimed. 'What can you say? It's an explosive situation. You can't just walk away by saying it's social media. So, this is what is still going on,' he added, describing the current political climate in the country as 'volatile'. On India-Bangladesh ties Yunus, during the interaction, also made a mention of the informal diplomatic note issued to India seeking Hasina's extradition. 'This will continue… we want the whole process to be very legal, very proper… We want to build the best of relationship with India. It's our neighbour, we don't want to have any kind of basic problem with them,' Yunus said. The diplomatic ties between New Delhi and Dhaka hit a new low following Hasina's ouster in August 2024, who took refuge in India. This also comes after the prosecutors with Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal charged Hasina with crimes against humanity, alleging her role in ordering mass killings during a nationwide uprising in July. The charges, submitted by Chief Prosecutor Mohammad Tajul Islam and his team, accuse Hasina of being the chief instigator behind the violent crackdown that unfolded during the July and August unrest, according to The Dhaka Tribune.

First setback, US Central Command: There are 11 unified commands. US Central Command is Florida-based; its head, General Michael Kurilla, said Pakistan is their phenomenal partner in counterterrorism. Pakistan is a phenomenal partner. Pakistan, where Osama bin Laden was found hiding for 10 years and he was killed on the 2nd of May 2011 in Abbottabad in Pakistan. Pakistan is a phenomenal counterterrorism partner. It's a bizarre statement from the top American general, the first setback," Ramesh told ANI. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like I lost my wife, now my son is in danger, please help him! Donate For Health Donate Now Undo This came after the US Central Command chief, Gen Michael Kurilla, described Pakistan as a "phenomenal partner" in counter-terrorism during a hearing by the House Armed Services Committee on Tuesday. "Second setback, Field Marshal Aasim Munir. He gets an invitation to the US Army Day on June 14th. This is the same Aasim Munir who was a few days before the April 22 brutal terrorist attack at Pahalgam. He uses the most incendiary and provocative language, going back to the 1940s, talking of the two-nation theory. Inflammatory comments were made by General Aasim Munir, and I think that gave oxygen and led to the terror attacks, and that same Aasim Munir is getting an invitation to the US Army Day on June 14th," he added.

He should meet the leaders of the opposition parties. Call the opposition parties; take them into confidence. He should have a special session of parliament. These are challenges. We have to sit together. We have to have a collective response, a collective will. How is that coming about? It will come only through all-party meetings. It will come only through the parliament sessions. I mean the Prime Minister should stop playing politics, start doing governance, and take opposition parties, not individuals - the anchor of our system is political parties, not individuals. Take political parties and their leaders into confidence."
