DAVOS, Switzerland (Reuters) - The head of Bangladesh's interim government, Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, said on Thursday that his country's high growth under ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was "fake" and faulted the world for not questioning what he said was her corruption.

The Bangladesh student and people’s uprising of July and August last year overthrew the government of Sheikh Hasina, who had been running the country since 2009. She was widely accused of corruption and human rights abuses.

Soros and Yunus ahd also met in New York last year in October after the Nobel laureate took charge following the fall of the Sheikh Hasina regime.

A women's football match in Bangladesh was cancelled due to Islamist protests, marking the second such event recently. Demonstrators, including students and teachers, opposed female participation in football,

Bangladesh has not outlawed Indian TV stations in the country, contrary to reports the government pulled the plug on all Indian satellite channels as tensions soared between the South Asian neighbours.

India's disinformation campaign against Bangladesh's interim government is no way to start a cordial relationship.

Earlier Bangladesh's interim government led by Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus was seeking to renegotiate the 2017 deal with Adani and alleged that Adani withheld tax benefits.

But are the allegations against the British MP politically motivated? Is the Yunus-led interim government settling scores with Hasina?

Bangladesh and Pakistan are set to begin direct flight connectivity within the next few months, Dhaka’s envoy to Islamabad said. Bangladesh High Commissioner also emphasised Bangladesh’s commitment to boosting business ties with Pakistan.

There are a lot of folks outside Bangladesh who are rooting for this democratic transition to work and can bring some expertise to the table. The government should seek technical assistance, monitoring, and reporting by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and other UN rights experts.

This is the second meeting between Alex Soros and Muhammad Yunus in three months. The duo had met in New York in October - weeks after Yunus took charge following the fall of the Sheikh Hasina regime.

This comes as the first major demonstration by the Awami League, whose most of the leaders have either been arrested or underground since the fall of the Hasina-led government on August 5 last year following a students-led anti-discrimination movement.
