In her first address in exile, the former Prime Minister of Bangladesh has launched a sharp attack on the Chief Advisor of the interim government, Muhammad Yunus. Former Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina on Friday slammed the Chief Advisor of the country's interim government, Muhammad Yunus, calling him a 'usurer, a money launderer, a plunderer, and a corrupt, power-hungry traitor, who has bled our nation dry with his all-consuming paradigms, straining the soul of our motherland'. In her first address in exile, Hasina said that the entire nation must rise united and 'galvanised by the spirit of our great Liberation War in this grave hour'. In truth, the entire country has become a vast prison, an execution ground, a valley of death,'' Hasina said. However, the Election Commission of Bangladesh had suspended the registration of the Awami League as a party in May last year.
