Former Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina has alleged that a conspiracy was hatched to murder her and her younger sister Sheikh Rehana as soon as they were ousted from power. “Rehan and I survived – we escaped death by just 20-25 minutes,” Sheikh Hasina said in 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 Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from power after weeks of protests and clashes that left more than 600 people dead. 76-year-old Hasina fled to India and an interim government was formed under the leadership of Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus. Sheikh Hasina recalled that many times conspiracies were hatched to kill her.
In this audio, Sheikh Hasina is further saying that I think that if we had not left on time on 21st August, we would have been killed that day. Allah was with us so today we are safe. In this audio, Sheikh Hasina has also mentioned the grenade attack that took place in 2004. She was injured in this attack. He also mentioned another example of the Kotalipara bomb conspiracy. In which bombs were found in a college in July 2000, where Hasina was to visit.
