A newly formed party led student demonstrations across Bangladesh on Sunday. They were commemorating one year since the fall of Bangladesh’s former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina . On August 5, 2024, Hasina, who had been in power for the past 15 years, resigned from the prime ministership and fled the country by helicopter.
Hasina fled Bangladesh amid violent protests, which started as a student-led demonstration against the controversial quota system, to a full-blown “ Monsoon Revolution ”. More than 300 people lost their lives in the violent protests that eventually led to the country giving powers to an interim government led by Bangladesh’s Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus.
In the span of one year, a lot has changed in Bangladesh. However, the remnants of the July uprising and instability across the country remain. After Yunus came to power, he effectively banned the Awami League from contesting the election.
While Hasina and top leaders of her party left the Awami League, some of her party members and workers are still in the country. Soon after Yunus came to power, his regime banned the party from contesting in polls.
Since then, party workers have been facing all sorts of atrocities at the hands of what they are calling “goons of the ruling regime”. When Firstpost asked an Awami League worker , who asked to remain anonymous, he had a simple response in Bangla: “The country’s situation is bad.” He said there have been multiple attacks on Hindus and other minorities in the country.
When asked who these “goons” are, the Awami League functionary said, “They are goons from Jamaat \[Jamaat-i-Islami\], the BNP [Bangladesh Nationalist Party] and the NCP [National Citizens Party],” whom the Awami League functionary frequently called the “B Team of Jamaat”.
