The White House on Monday ruled out any involvement of the United States behind the fall of Sheikh Hasina-led government, stressing that it is false.

‘So, we have had no involvement at all. Any — any reports or rumors that the United States government was involved in these — in these events is simply, simply false. That is not true,’ Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters at a press briefing on August 12.

She said that this was a choice for and by the Bangladeshi people.

‘We believe that the Bangladeshi people should determine the future of the Bangladeshi government, and that’s where we stand,’ said the White House press secretary.

‘Any allegations, certainly, we will continue to say, and I have said here, is simply not true,’ she added.

A journalist mentioned that former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has reported to allies that she was thrown out — or forced to be out of power because U.S. wanted to have one of the islands given to them – the United States of America.

And since — because they didn’t agree to it, she was forced to resign, the questioner mentioned.

She said that they were going to continue to monitor the situation.

Respinding to a question on Hindu community, the press secretary said when it comes to any type of human rights issues here, the US president is always — has been very consistent in speaking loud and clear in public and also privately.

‘Don’t have anything — and he’ll continue to do that, but don’t have any specific engagement to speak to at this time,’ she said.
