PM Modi Refuses to Silence Hasina Online: Yunus React, Bangladesh Boils Over Her Speeches from India

Bangladesh interim leader Muhammad Yunus claims he asked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to block Sheikh Hasina’s online speeches — but Modi refused, saying, “It’s social media, you can’t control it.” Yunus, who now leads Bangladesh after Hasina’s ouster, made this revelation during a talk at Chatham House in London. As Hasina continues to address the Bangladeshi public from India, tensions rise, with Yunus accusing her of stirring unrest. Meanwhile, Yunus’ own anti-India remarks and outreach to China have alarmed New Delhi. Is Bangladesh heading into deeper turmoil? And is India taking a firm stand on digital freedom? #Modi #SheikhHasina #MuhammadYunus #BangladeshPolitics #IndiaBangladesh #SocialMediaFreedom #Geopolitics #ChathamHouse #DigitalDiplomacy #ModiHasina #SouthAsia #ChinaInBangladesh ~HT.318~PR.274~ED.103~GR.125~
