Hasina's War of Words: Yunus Branded 'Mobster' as Ex-PM Pledges to Return Bangladesh

Bangladesh (The Uttam Hindu) : In a scathing attack, former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has called Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus a "mobster" and vowed to return to the country. Hasina, who has been living in exile since 2007, made the comments during a press conference in London.

Hasina's remarks were aimed at Yunus, the founder of Grameen Bank, who has been a vocal critic of the former Prime Minister. Yunus has accused Hasina of corruption and mismanagement during her tenure as Prime Minister. "Muhammad Yunus is a mobster who has been using his Nobel Prize to further his own interests," Hasina said. "He has been spreading lies and misinformation about me and my government, and it's time someone stood up to him."

Hasina also vowed to return to Bangladesh, despite facing corruption charges and a warrant for her arrest. "I will return to Bangladesh soon, and when I do, I will make sure that justice is served," she said. Hasina's comments have sparked a heated debate in Bangladesh, with many criticizing her for attacking Yunus. "Hasina's comments are unacceptable and unbecoming of a former Prime Minister," said a spokesperson for Yunus. "She should focus on answering the corruption charges against her rather than attacking a Nobel laureate."

The Bangladesh government has also reacted to Hasina's comments, with a spokesperson saying that she would be arrested if she returned to the country. "Hasina is a fugitive from justice, and if she returns to Bangladesh, she will be arrested and put on trial," the spokesperson said. Hasina's vow to return to Bangladesh has also raised concerns about the country's political stability. Bangladesh has been plagued by political violence and instability in recent years and many fear that Hasina's return could spark further unrest.

Despite the controversy surrounding her comments, Hasina remains a popular figure in Bangladesh, and many see her as a viable alternative to the current government. Her vow to return to the country has sparked excitement among her supporters, who see her as a champion of democracy and human rights. As the situation in Bangladesh continues to unfold, one thing is clear: Hasina's return to the country would be a significant development with far-reaching consequences for the country's politics and stability.
