Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina intensified her criticism of interim government head Muhammad Yunus, accusing him of "selling the country to the United States." 

Her renewed attack follows reports that Yunus threatened to resign after the military called for general elections to be held in December, prompting fresh waves of protest across the nation.

Hasina further alleged that Yunus is governing with the support of militant groups and condemned the recent ban on her party, the Awami League, calling it unconstitutional.

Hasina repeated her allegation that Yunus has seized control of the government with the help of extremist groups. She also slammed the Awami League’s ban, calling it both illegal and unconstitutional.
