She didn't want genocide
So many people would have been killed in Gana Bhawan – Sheikh Hasina
The former PM said, 'If I had wanted to remain in power, there would have been a massacre. When people were being killed indiscriminately, I decided that I should leave. If my security personnel had opened fire, many people would have been killed and dead bodies would have been scattered in Gana Bhawan (PM House). I didn't want this.
