A national committee formed by Bangladesh’s interim government has cleared Sheikh Hasina of corruption allegations, finding no illegal financial transactions linked to power sector projects.
More than 327 garment factories have shut in Gazipur and Savar in 18 months, leaving over 150,000 workers unemployed amid falling exports, rising costs and political instability.
From exile, Sheikh Hasina urged democratic forces to unite, demanded the removal of the Yunus-led interim government, and called for a UN investigation into Bangladesh’s crisis.
In her first address since exile, Sheikh Hasina accused Muhammad Yunus of running an illegal, violent regime and plunging Bangladesh into chaos and democratic exile.
