Sheikh Hasina

The textbooks, until now, stated that the declaration was made by 'Bangabandhu' Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the father of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina who is currently in exile in India.

Bangladesh's Anti Corruption Commission said on Monday it had launched an enquiry into allegations of corruption, embezzlement and money laundering in the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant project, backed by Russia's state-owned Rosatom

The Kangaroo tribunal and subsequent request for extradition comes while hundreds of leaders and activists are extrajudicially killed, says Sajeeb Wazed.

Hasina has been living in exile in India since August 5 when she fled the country amid the student-led protests that toppled her 16-year regime.

"Big announcements are being made about world peace. We (India) are also being advised about world peace, but at the same time wars are not ending. While we are often told to worry about the minorities in our country, we are witnessing what kind of situation minorities are facing outside," he said.

Bangladesh's central bank confirmed that the image of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, also known as 'Bangabandhu,' will be removed from the Taka 20, 100, 500, and 1,000 banknotes.

In a virtual address at an event in New York, Hasina accused Yunus of perpetrating "genocide" and failing to protect minorities including Hindus.

The 84-year-old Nobel laureate, in an interview with Nikkei Asia, said, "We need comprehensive reforms in the economy, governance, bureaucracy and judiciary (before holding elections)."

Dozens of cases are now being processed at the Internal Crimes Tribunal of Bangladesh (ICT-BD) against Hasina, her cabinet colleagues, several of them being in jail or on the run at home and abroad while Dhaka sought Interpol help for her repatriation from India.

The ousted PM also recalled several meetings and interactions with Trump and Melania during his first term as president

Sheikh Hasina has also reportedly criticised the US for allegedly aiming to establish a base in Bengal and create a Christian state akin to East Timor.

This move comes in response to escalating demands from the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, which outlined five key demands, including the abolishment of the current constitution, the removal of President Mohammed Shahabuddin, and the dissolution of the BCL.

Hindu leaders from the Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council (BHBCOP) and other groups are now discussing the possibility of establishing a separate political party or demanding reserved parliamentary seats.
