“We Escaped Death By 20-25 Minutes”: Former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina

Published:


Former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina has alleged that there was a conspiracy to kill her and her younger sister Sheikh Rehana, the moment she was ousted from power.

“Rehana and I survived – just 20-25 minutes apart we escaped death”, Sheikh Hasina said on an audio speech posted on the Facebook page of her Bangladesh Awami League party late on Friday.

In August last year, a student-led movement ousted Bangladesh’s Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina , after weeks of protests and clashes that killed over 600 people. Hasina, 76, fled to India and an interim government led by Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus was formed. Sheikh Hasina recalled that there were conspiracies to kill her at various times.

“I just feel that surviving the killings on August 21, or surviving the huge bomb in Kotalipara, surviving on this time August 5, 2024, there must be a will of Allah, a hand of Allah”, she said. “Otherwise, I’m not going to survive this time!” she added. “You later saw how they planned to kill me”, Hasina said.

“However, it seems to be a mercy of Allah that I am still alive because Allah wants me to do something more”, she said. “Although I am suffering, I am without my country, without my home, everything has been burned”, she said in an emotionally tearful voice.
