Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has condemned the interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus for allegedly orchestrating attacks on Hindu minorities and undermining democracy. In her first major international interview since her ouster in August 2024, Hasina described the current administration as "illegitimate" and warned that Bangladesh faces growing extremism and instability under Yunus's leadership. She criticized the delay in elections, expressed concerns about religious persecution, and reaffirmed her commitment to restoring democratic governance in Bangladesh.
