After the White House, the US Department of State has also trashed reports that claimed the United States (US) was involved in former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation.
"That’s laughable," Principal Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel told reporters at a regular briefing in Washington on August 13, UNB reports.
He said any implication that the US was involved in Sheikh Hasina’s resignation is absolutely false.
"We have seen a lot of disinformation in recent weeks," Patel said.
He said they remain incredibly committed to strengthening information integrity across the digital ecosystem, especially with their partners in South Asia.
Earlier, the White House ruled out any involvement of the United States behind the fall of the Sheikh Hasina-led government, stressing that it is false.
"So, we have had no involvement at all. Any-any reports or rumours 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 this is a choice for and by the Bangladeshi people.
