Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has expressed deep sorrow and sharp anger regarding the discussion of her personal jewelry, stating forcefully that these ornaments are not recent acquisitions.
​She emphasized that the gold pieces are ancestral and sentimental, dating back to before she assumed power.
​"These are not the golds of today. These are from before I came to power—my grandmother's, my mother's, my Kamal's wife's (late Sheikh Kamal's wife), and jewelry received as gifts over different periods," the Prime Minister reportedly stated.
​The Prime Minister's remarks were made in the context of her strong criticism of Dr. Muhammad Yunus and the government he allegedly influences (implying the opposition or critics associated with him), on whom she has reportedly vented her displeasure over the matter.
