‘USAID and Clinton’: Ex-Bangladesh minister alleges US-backed plot to topple Hasina; says coup was ‘carefully planned’

A former Bangladeshi minister alleges USAID and the Bill Clinton family backed the 2024 riots that ousted Sheikh Hasina. He claims US organisations, including USAID and IRI, funded campaigns to destabilise the Awami League government. Hasina, now in India, also accused the US of involvement, a claim the White House denies.
