Bangladesh’s ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina accused interim leader Muhammad Yunus of "genocide" in her first public address since fleeing to New Delhi. Speaking virtually, she alleged Yunus failed to protect minorities, highlighting attacks on Hindus, Buddhists, and Christians. She cited the destruction of 11 churches and arrests of Hindu leaders like ISKCON’s Chinmoy Krishna Das. Hasina claimed there was a plot to assassinate her and her sister, mirroring her father’s 1975 assassination. India expressed serious concerns over rising extremist rhetoric and minority violence in Bangladesh, urging the interim government to ensure minority safety and justice. Relations between the nations remain tense.
