Escaped death by 20 mins: Sheikh Hasina said that political rivals hatched a plot to assassinate her
After Bangladeshi Prime Minister whose term was dismissed by the president, she exposed an attempt to eliminate her and sister Sheikh Rehana.
Rehana and I survived—just for 20-25 minutes, we were saved from death,” Hasina said in the audio message released on the Bangladesh Awami League’s official Facebook page.The 76-year-old leader was overthrown, seeking asylum in India last year when her 32-year rule was ended by a students’ uprising that saw protests and unrest that lead to more than 600 deaths. Analyzing the experience, Hasina said there was a plot to assassinate her and referred to her experiences as a miracle.But looking such risky now she said emotionally, ‘I think it is the desire of Allah that I alive now for August 21 grenade attack, Kotalipara bomb plot and now this.’ “Otherwise I wouldn’t be alive today.”
“she said that she just feel that surviving on August 21, from getting killed or surviving the huge bomb in Kotalipara, is just because there must be a will of Allah, ”the deposed PM said warmly, “that she is suffering, she is without her country, without her home, everything has been burned.”
It is not the first time that an assassination plot against Hasina has been foiled, the August 21, 2004, attack that involved a grenade attack while Hasina was leading a rally in Dhaka that left 24 dead and over 500 injured. The rally was anti- terrorism.
Getting out of the hand was Hasina with only minor injuries. Likewise in the year two thousand, a seventy-six kilogram bomb was detected in Kotalipara, and she was about to speak at a public meeting there.
This paper has sought to demonstrate that Hasina’s exile had been preceded and accompanied by increase in scrutiny. She has been charged with enforced disappearances by Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal that has issued arrest warrants for her because of disappearances during her 15-year rule during which her government is said to have abducted more than 500 people.
The interim government’s press secretary Shafiqul Alam said: “She has to be brought to justice for crimes against humanity.”
Bangladesh puts a stop to Hasina’s visa
At the same time, the authorities of Dhaka officially appealed to their Indian colleagues with a request to extradite her. Her future is still unknown because the extradition agreement between the two countries does not state the time limit clearly. Government has hints at building international pressure for trial of the woman No this was not highlighted.
Nevertheless, Hasina, equally resists. “Even though I don’t have my country and my home, I think that Allah has provided me with life for something,” she said with tears strongly indicating increased hardships experienced by her.The Hasina’s extension news, theBangladesh interim government had statedearlier that visa related issues do not matter once a passport is withdrawn.
The government of Bangladesh had cancelled the passports of 97 persons of which Hasina also was among; holding that such individuals where involved on protest-related crimes Cancellation of passes is Shared with Diplomatic Missions said foreign ministry spokesperson Mohammad Rafiqul Alam.
