'BANGLADESH COUP HAS THE U.S. WRITTEN ALL OVER IT'

When former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, was interacting with leaders of 14 parties in a closed-door meeting at Ganabhaban, the official residence of the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, on the evening of 24 May, she warned them and perhaps as a reminder to herself of a “conspiracy” that was in play to remove her.

The said conspiracy, sources who were part of her team said, was being orchestrated by a foreign country that had made it clear through a series of actions and statements that it was not happy with her coming back to power in the January 2024 elections.

During the interaction, which went on till night, she told them how the country’s representatives (a white man) had met her before the elections and stated that she would have a smooth re-election and a smoother run as PM if she allowed certain things to happen. These included the creation of “a Christian state like East Timor” by taking parts from Bangladesh (Chattogram) and Myanmar, with the first step being allowing them to build an airbase on Saint Martin Island in the Bay of Bengal.

According to sources, on that night, Hasina spoke about how she believed she would be toppled and might face the same consequences as her father, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

All her concerns were proven right on Monday, less than three months after her forecast, as she had to abruptly leave Dhaka and fly to India after violent protests, led by students but backed by multiple actors, made it clear that if she stayed back, she would probably face the same end as her father—assassination.
