In her first public address since fleeing Bangladesh four months ago, ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina launched a scathing attack on interim leader Muhammad Yunus, accusing him of orchestrating "genocide" and failing to protect minorities, including Hindus. Speaking virtually at an event in New York to mark Bangladesh's "Bijoy Dibos" (Victory Day), Hasina alleged that the current regime has allowed attacks on places of worship and ignored the plight of vulnerable communities.
