US repudiates involvement in former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina's ouster

Quick Summary:

Any implication that the United States was involved in Sheikh Hasina's resignation is absolutely false," Vedant Patel, US State Department's principal deputy spokesperson, said on Tuesday when asked about Hasina's accusation that the United States orchestrated mass protests that led to her ouster after weeks of violence.

The US has described as "laughable" and "false" the accusation that it was behind Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina's ouster.

Hasina resigned and fled to India on August 5 following widespread protests against her government over a controversial quota system in jobs.
