DHAKA: Former Bangladesh Prime Minister and President of the Awami League, Sheikh Hasina, on Thursday, accused the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government of pushing the country towards darkness through unchecked corruption, falsehood, and the pursuit of serving personal interests.

In a New Year message shared by the Awami League party on X, Hasina said those conspiring to destroy the country have already been exposed before the nation.

“May the New Year bring boundless harmony, happiness, and prosperity for all the people of Bangladesh. May it wipe away the sorrows and afflictions of the past, correct mistakes and shortcomings, and become a memorable year for everyone. It is my deepest dream and lifelong aspiration of struggle that this country truly belongs to all its people -- regardless of religion, colour, class, profession, or ethnic identity, ” read the statement issued by the former Bangladesh PM.
