'Deception and farce': Sheikh Hasina rejects Bangladesh poll results, calls it 'disgraceful chapter'
Former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina, living in exile, has branded the recent February 12 polls a 'pre-planned election of deception and farce.' She alleges widespread manipulation and unrealistic turnout figures. Meanwhile, her rival Khaleda Zia's party, the BNP, secured a significant victory, prompting calls for Hasina's extradition from India to face trial.
