'I am suffering...': Former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina breaks down as she narrates August ordeal
In a trembling voice, the 77-year-old leader is heard praising Allah for saving her as she accused her political opponents of conspiring to get her killed.
PTC News Desk: Bangladesh's oustered Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has broke down while describing her ordeal when she and her sister escaped death prompting her to flee the country last August. The audio note was shared by her party Awami League Party.
In a trembling voice, the 77-year-old leader is heard praising Allah for saving her as she accused her political opponents of conspiring to get her killed.
Sheikh Hasina is currently in New Delhi ever since she fled Dhaka and resigned as Prime Minister minutes before a mob ran over her palatial bungalow.
"We escaped death by just 20-25 minutes. I feel surviving the killings on August 21, surviving the bomb in Kotalipara, or surviving on August 5, 2024, there must be a will of Allah, hand of Allah. Otherwise, I wouldn't have survived this time," she is heard saying in audio clip.
In addition to the grenade attack which claimed lives of 24 people, she also cited Kotalipara bomb conspiracy in which bombs were found in July 2000 at a college where Ms Hasina was supposed to visit.
"I am suffering, I am without my country, my home, everything has been burned," she added further in a battered voice.
Bangladesh has requested to extradite Ms Hasina and while the Indian foreign ministry has confirmed receiving a note in this regard, they did not offer any comment on it.
