The United States has firmly denied any involvement in the recent resignation of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The US government has dismissed claims made by opposition parties in Bangladesh alleging that they played a role in influencing Hasina’s decision to step down.
In a statement, the US Embassy in Dhaka described the allegations as “laughable” and emphasized that the US respects Bangladesh’s sovereignty and democratic processes. The embassy reiterated its support for the people of Bangladesh in their pursuit of free and fair elections.
Hasina’s resignation came after weeks of protests and unrest in the country, with demonstrators calling for her to step down over allegations of election fraud and corruption. She announced her decision to resign in a televised address, stating that she wanted to prevent further violence and bloodshed.
The US government’s denial of involvement in Hasina’s resignation comes amidst growing tensions between the two countries over issues such as human rights and democratic governance. The US has previously raised concerns about the crackdown on political dissent and the erosion of democratic institutions in Bangladesh.
Despite the US denial, opposition parties in Bangladesh continue to insist that outside forces played a role in Hasina’s resignation. They have called for an independent investigation into the events leading up to her decision to step down.
As the political situation in Bangladesh remains volatile, the US government has reiterated its commitment to supporting the country’s democratic processes and called for a peaceful and inclusive resolution to the current crisis.
