Is there any similarity between toppling of Hasina and Imran regimes?

According to my friend Muda Guppa, on Monday Sheikh Hasina prime minister of Bangladesh relinquished power that reminded a planned non-confidence move against ex-prime minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan. 

The only difference was that a member National Assembly, Shehbaz Sharif, became prime minister for the remaining term, whereas in Bangladesh chief of army became head of the government for the interim period till new elections are held.

Muda insisted that in change of regime in Bangladesh and Pakistan, United States played a key role, and the architect of change in regimes in both the countries was Donald Lu, US assistant secretary of state.

In the recent past I have been taking about three types of countries which United States hates.  During her three regimes Hasina made Bangladesh from strong to stronger, evident from GDP growth rate and foreign exchange reserves held by the country.

However, Bangladesh was lured to approach IMF for a bailout package.

Muda insisted that United States was not happy with Hasina due to her tilt towards China, which has been mediating between countries having long history of animosity. United States believed the restoration of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran would weaken its influence in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).

It is on record that Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates (UAE) refused to join a naval task forces led by United States and some of the European countries to take action against Houthis of Yemen.

In the saga, India played the role of most trusted friend of Hasina, it took her out of Bangladesh and provided a safe haven.

Muda believes that the whole controversy started when students demanded to end the quota system for the children of those who had fought against Pakistan Army.

Therefore, India has to arrange for a safe exit of Hasina. She and her father Sheikh Mujibur Rahman played a key role in turning East Pakistan into Bangladesh.
