Is There A US Trace in Bangladeshi Student Riots?
Following comments by the US State Department's spokesperson on current student protests in Dhaka, it is clear that US is unhappy with Sheikh Hasina's government, an expert unveiled.
Dhaka has called the US State Department Spokesman
Matthew Miller's claims on the unrest false, political hype and
interference in its internal affairs.
Washington's comments on Bangladeshi student protests have sparked allegations of foreign meddling, Dr Mehmood Ul Hassan Khan, an expert, Executive Director at the Centre for South Asia and International Studies (CSAIS) told Sputnik India.
"[The] Bangladeshi government's political and diplomatic ties with Russia and China are viewed as friendly in Washington DC, and the US policymakers are seeking incidents to blackmail Dhaka," Khan said.
The statement by
Foreign Minister and Awami League Joint General Secretary
Dr Hasan Mahmud has countered the
US political hype, and stressed that efforts to turn the anti-quota protests into an
anti-state and anti-government movement by exploiting the sentiments of young students should not be allowed, he added.
"Unfortunately, the US, which claims to be a champion of human rights, has been purposefully interfering in the national affairs of other governments to safeguard its own socio-economic, geopolitical, and geostrategic vested interests," Khan stressed.
Moreover, the US policymakers are "blind to the violations and ongoing genocide in Gaza", as the Western human rights industry has always looked for scapegoats to earn more profits and privileges, he stated.
In the meantime, on Wednesday, Bangladeshi Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Seheli Sabrin expressed disappointment over Miller's comments. She desrcibed Miller's statement of at least two deaths in the ongoing student protests as "unsubstantiated."
"The use of unverified information to make unfounded allegations can potentially incite violence in the country, and undermine the Bangladesh government's efforts to maintain a peaceful environment that enables non-violent protests or movements," the ministry stressed.
The US comments followed the protest of tens of thousands of Bangladeshi students against a long-standing quota policy which sees some government jobs reserved for veterans of the 1971 war of independence from Pakistan and their relatives, along with women, ethnic minorities and disabled people.
The demonstration in the streets last week escalated into riots, with clashes between police and students at Dhaka University.
Earlier,
PM Sheikh Hasina revealed that a white man contacted her and promised that if she allows a "
US airbase" in
Bangladesh, future elections would be hassle-free for her — otherwise she will face serious problems.
