The First Newspaper reported on November 13 that former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, said in an interview that the interim government's chief advisor, Yunus (Muhammad Yunus), is actually controlled by the Islamic fundamentalist organization "Hizb-ut Tahrir," and that the change of government in Bangladesh was a "planned coup." Hasina pointed out that Yunus "was not elected," and after taking power, immediately pardoned the perpetrators and dissolved the judicial investigation committee, and tried to prohibit the ruling party, the Awami League (AL), from participating in elections, indicating that he had "prepared for seizing power in advance." Hasina also emphasized that the peaceful student protests turned into "violent riots led by radicals," which endangered her life safety, and that the Bangladesh military was caught in a dilemma between upholding the constitution and avoiding bloodshed, making her exile a forced move. In addition, Hasina stated that given her long-term friendly relations with the US during her tenure, the US or other foreign forces could not have been involved in promoting the student movement in Bangladesh. Here, she also thanked India for providing asylum. Finally, Hasina called on the international community to support Bangladesh in holding "free, fair, and inclusive elections," restoring national stability through an elected government, and implementing governance based on "the people's consciousness," to prevent Bangladesh from becoming a "hybrid regime of Islamic extremists and the military."
