Sheikh Hasina’s security has generally been heightened since she survived several assassination plots, including the 2004 Dhaka grenade attack that occurred at an anti-terrorism rally organized by the Awami League on Bangabandhu Avenue on 21 August 2004. 24 people lost their lives in the attack, while 500 people were injured. The attack occurred after Sheikh Hasina addressed a crowd of 20,000 people from the back of a truck. Hasina, who was the opposition leader at that time, also suffered some injuries in the attack.
Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has alleged that a conspiracy was hatched to kill her and her younger sister Sheikh Rehana after they were ousted from power in the country. In an audio speech posted on the Facebook page of Bangladesh Awami League party, the former Bangladesh PM claimed that she escaped death along with her sister as she can be heard saying. He said that Rehana and I were saved. “I just feel that surviving the August 21 killings or the huge bomb in Kotalipara, surviving this time on August 5, 2024, should be Allah’s will, Allah’s hand,” ANI quoted Hasina as saying.
Although I am suffering, I am without my country, without my home, everything is burnt. He further said that however, it is by the grace of Allah that I am still alive because Allah wants me to do something else.
