Sheikh Hasina attacks Muhammad Yunus ahead of elections in Bangladesh, calls him money launderer, power-hungry traitor

Weeks ahead of the national elections in Bangladesh, the nation's ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina launched a scathing attack on the interim chief, Muhammad Yunus. Labelling him as an “usurer, a money launderer, a plunderer, and a corrupt, power-hungry traitor,” Hasina alleged Yunus has bled Bangladesh “dry with his all-consuming paradigms, staining the soul of the motherland.”

In her speech from Delhi, Sheikh Hasina said that the entire nation must rise united and "galvanized by the spirit of our great Liberation War in this grave hour".

Last year, in May, the Bangladesh Election Commission suspended the registration of the Hasina-led Awami League as a party. The Interim Government has also banned all activities by the Awami League.
