Yunus said, “We have told her very strictly to keep quiet… She has been given asylum there and she is preaching from there. It is not that she has gone there in a normal way. She has fled from there after the public's revolt and anger.” He said that she is speaking and giving instructions from India. Nobody likes this… This is not good for us or India.
'Come back to Bangladesh, the case will be filed here'
Yunus also stressed that Hasina should be brought back to Bangladesh and tried publicly. Yunus stressed that Bangladesh values strong bilateral relations with India, but New Delhi should move beyond the ideology that labels every other political party except the Awami League as Islamist. He said India and Bangladesh need to work together to improve their relations, which are no longer good.
I had a phone conversation with Prime Minister Modi a few weeks ago.
Yunus' statement comes weeks after a phone conversation between him and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This was the first high-level contact between the two countries after the fall of the Hasina government. After their conversation, the Ministry of External Affairs indicated in a statement that the two leaders discussed ways to advance bilateral relations in line with their respective national priorities.
Hasina resigned as prime minister and moved to India after anti-government protests reached a peak on August 5. Her presence in India for nearly four weeks has fuelled speculation in Bangladesh and with several criminal cases filed against the former prime minister at home, it is likely that Bangladesh may soon press for her extradition.
