Bangladesh is standing at a critical juncture in its history; the fertile land Bangladesh was moving forward, but now it is under the control of extremist mob terrorists.

On Friday, January 23, 2026, she made this remark at a press conference of the ‘Bangladesh Human Rights Watch USA’ organization at the Foreign Correspondents Club of South Asia in New Delhi, the capital of India.

In her speech, Sheikh Hasina said that the country that became independent under the leadership of Bangabandhu is now standing at the most critical juncture in its history. The fertile land Bangladesh was moving forward rapidly, but now it is soaked in blood. The countrymen are now victims of violence under the extremist mob-run government. The country has fallen under the control of extremist communal groups and foreign occupiers.

Independent and sovereign Bangladesh has become a huge prison, a valley of death, she said. Alleging Dr. Yunus, the chief advisor to the interim government, she said, ‘Yunus is a person who evaded government taxes. On August 5, extremists attacked with the help of militants through meticulous planning and ousted our elected government.
