Sheikh Hasina Says ‘Unelected Forces’ Are Pushing Bangladesh Into Darkness

Dhaka: Former Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina has expressed strong concern about the current political situation in the country.

According to Hasina, this is the reason why the country is slowly moving towards darkness.

Whom is Hasina targeting by calling her an “illegal occupier”?

Are alarm bells ringing regarding democracy?

She said that those asking questions are being viewed with suspicion and the space for dissenting voices is decreasing. In Haseena's words, when freedom of speech starts to be limited, then it should be understood that the situation is not good.

What did you say about the country's economy and law and order?

Sheikh Hasina said that the impact of the current situation is not limited to politics alone. Its burden on the economy is also clearly visible.
