Sheikh Hasina claims 2024 Bangladesh protests were orchestrated

Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina addressed a media event in New Delhi via audio message, asserting that the 2024 student protests in her country were a planned conspiracy rather than a genuine movement. Hasina, who has been in India since leaving office, stated that the protests were used to remove her government and install a new administration. She expressed her intention to return to Bangladesh in December and called for the lifting of the ban on her political party, the Awami League.

What Happened

Sheikh Hasina, the former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, spoke at an event hosted by the Foreign Correspondents Club of South Asia in New Delhi. In an audio address, she described the student-led protests that occurred in Bangladesh during July and August 2024 as a coordinated effort to overthrow her government. She characterized the movement as a violent political instrument rather than a peaceful student stir and alleged that it was an orchestrated operation designed to bypass democratic processes.

Hasina stated that she was forced to leave her country and remains separated from her people. She announced her intention to return to Bangladesh in December and demanded that the ban on her party, the Awami League, be lifted. She further claimed that she may face fabricated legal cases upon her return but maintained that she remains committed to her duties to the nation.
