Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday accused the United States of seeking a regime change in the country, bdnews24reported.

“They are trying to eliminate democracy and introduce a government that will not have a democratic existence,” Hasina said in Parliament. “It’ll be an undemocratic action.”

Hasina’s criticism of the United States comes at a time when Washington has pulled up her party – the Awami League – on issues related to human rights.

In December, several former and current leaders of the Rapid Action Battalion were sanctioned by the United States. The RAB, an elite Bangladesh paramilitary unit, is alleged to have carried out enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings on behalf of the government.

In the same month, American Ambassador Peter Haas had met families of victims of alleged enforced disappearance under Hasina’s rule. This included the family of Sajedul Islam Sumon, a leader from the Opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party.

In February, Derek Chollet, the US State Department counselor, had expressed concern about the decline of democracy in Bangladesh. He had warned that this would limit American cooperation with Dhaka and urged Hasina to ensure free and fair elections.

On Monday, Hasina criticised the United States alleging that Washington does not practice its democratic norms beyond the Atlantic Ocean.

“They can overthrow the government of any country,” she claimed. “In particular, Muslim countries are going through tough situations.”

‘Pratham Alo is an enemy of people’​

In her speech, the prime minister also criticised Bangla-language newspaper Prothom Alo, saying that it is an enemy of the Awami League, democracy and the people.

“I must say that they never want stability in the country,” Hasina said, according to bdnews24. “They were elated when an emergency was declared in 2007. It was then that two newspapers rolled up their sleeves [to achieve their goals].”

On March 30, the Hasina-led government had arrested Prothom Alo reporter, Shamsuzzaman Shams, on charges of writing false news on the rising food prices in Bangladesh, reported The Guardian.

Bangladesh Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khansaid that Shams was arrested under the country’s Digital Security Act as his report was “false, fabricated and ill-motivated”, reported Al Jazeera.

Bangladesh’s Digital Security Act has been denounced by critics as a flawed and draconian law, which has provisions of jail sentences of up to 14 years.

Surprise, surprise, surprise.

Raising moderate Moderate state, principled ppl, economically raising. Is something u.s can not tolerate.


The biggest reason is u.s western hegmonised system financial system of charging Interest and extracting and considering as much wealth at the top as possible is their game. (Also hate, trying to extract anything good and destroy it, fear, that's been instilled in the elite - by ppl like Rhodes, and orientalism.)

Every other reason follows after this.

They don't want to the world to know that Muslim countries can be progressive, Moderate and advancing and uplifting thier ppl.

Also it's skin color .

USA should start with sanctioning pussy armed forces of bd.

Hasina Bibi, why are you now talking against America? Was not it America that installed you with the help of India in the last two elections?

Re-instate the CTG system, let it hold the election and let your BAL party win it. Why do you worry about the BD future?

We still remember how your BAL party fought to establish the CTG. Now why the grapes are sour?

That is what the Americans do. Support when they need you. Ditch when you become a liability.

It was Hasina Bibi who took shelter with India and sought America’s help to win elections. So, she should be ditched.

But, why to blame America when it only wants a participatory fair election? America cannot control the election result.

Without this, Hasina will make BD another North Korea with Chinese under-the-table interference. A country is not a family enterprise.

Regardless, the Americans are only interested in their personal interests. This is not about BD or its people.
