'I had talked to PM Modi about Sheikh Hasina', Mohammad Yunus made a big claim; told what answer he got:

News Topical, Digital Desk : Bangladesh interim government chief Mohammad Yunus is very angry about Sheikh Hasina's online speech from India. Sheikh Hasina is constantly bringing the failures of the Yunus government to the world through her speech.

Now Mohammad Yunus has criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said that he had requested India to curb the online speeches of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, which was ignored and due to this anger is rising across Bangladesh.

Speaking during a recent discussion at Chatham House in London, Yunus recalled his meeting and conversation with PM Modi. He said, "When I got the chance to talk to Prime Minister Modi, I just said that since you want to host her, I cannot force you to give up that policy, but please help us ensure that she does not talk to Bangladeshi people the way she is doing."

Why was Yunus angry with India?

Mohammad Yunus expressed disappointment and said that Sheikh Hasina sitting in India announces that she will speak on this day, this time, this hour and the whole of Bangladesh gets enraged. Why is she keeping all this anger within herself?

Yunus said he had asked PM Modi to intervene and stop Sheikh Hasina from making further statements, to which the Indian Prime Minister reportedly responded, “This is social media, you cannot control it.”

Will India return Sheikh Hasina?

When asked at Chatham House if India was doing what Bangladesh expected, Yunus replied without hesitation, “No”. He said Bangladesh has written to the Indian government requesting Hasina’s extradition and legal proceedings are already underway.

Mohammad Yunus said, "The tribunal has started the hearing process. Our government has sent a notice to Sheikh Hasina for the crimes she has committed, but it has not been responded to yet."

Yunus targets Indian media

Relations between Bangladesh and India have been strained since Sheikh Hasina took refuge in India after she was removed from office in August 2024. But Yunus also stressed that Bangladesh still wants strong bilateral relations with India.

However, hitting out at the Indian media, Bangladesh government's chief adviser Mohammad Yunus has expressed concern that the Indian media is spreading misinformation, which has dubious links with top producers.
