The US yesterday dismissed as "laughable" the claims that it orchestrated the mass protests in Bangladesh that led to former prime minister Sheikh Hasina's ouster on August 5.

"That's laughable. Any implication that the United States was involved in Sheikh Hasina's resignation is absolutely false," State Department Spokesperson Vedant Patel told media in Washington in response to a question.

"We have seen a lot of disinformation in recent weeks, and we remain incredibly committed to strengthening information integrity across the digital ecosystem, especially with our partners in South Asia," he said

Hasina, who was in power for 15 years, resigned and fled to India on August 5 after a mass upsurge.

Denmark today said it wants the interim government to focus on good governance, respect human rights and democracy, and conduct impartial investigations into the many tragic deaths during the recent protests.

"We encourage all actors to contribute to a peaceful transition towards democratic elections." Dan Jørgensen, minister for Development Cooperation and Global Climate Policy of Denmark, said in a statement today.

He said Denmark has had a close cooperation with Bangladesh for more than 50 years, so it naturally follows the development in Bangladesh closely.

He said Denmark and the European Union welcome the appointment of an interim government headed by Nobel Laureate Prof Muhammad Yunus.
