"If I had handed over the sovereignty of St. Martin and allowed the United States to control the Bay of Bengal, I could have continued to govern." According to reports from Indian media such as the Economic Times and India Today on August 11, former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who is currently in India, broke her silence for the first time and made "explosive" accusations in a statement, implying that her forced resignation was related to US interference.

The Economic Times said Hasina provided the above statement to the newspaper through her confidant. As protests against the government's "civil servant quota system" turned violent, Hasina resigned and fled to India on the 5th. There are reports that she had planned to make a national speech before leaving Bangladesh, but was dissuaded. According to India Today, the statement is the original text of the speech that Hasina failed to deliver.

Hasina said she resigned "to avoid seeing the marchers turned into corpses" and "they wanted to step on the bodies of students to get on stage, but I did not allow it." She stressed that if she continued to stay in Bangladesh, more people would die and more facilities would be destroyed, so she made the "extremely difficult decision" to resign. "I came with your victory, you are my strength, you didn't want me, and then I left by myself."
