The Awami League party in Bangladesh is upset with the country’s interim government. They say the government has asked India to return former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The Awami League claims this request is part of a plot to harm Hasina through a fake trial.
In a statement, the Awami League accused the current government of taking power unconstitutionally. They believe the extradition request is based on false charges aimed at Hasina and not supported by a treaty between India and Bangladesh. The party points out that this treaty does not cover made-up cases and that there is no real justice in Bangladesh right now.
Hasina has been in India since she left Bangladesh in August. The Indian government has acknowledged receiving the extradition request but has not commented further.
The Awami League is worried that the interim government wants to harm Hasina, and they’ve mentioned that some officials have even said they want to execute her. They believe that the case against Hasina—related to her efforts against war crimes from the 1971 liberation war—is part of the strategy to punish her unjustly.
The Awami League also claims the interim government is responsible for violence against their supporters and minority groups in Bangladesh, stating that these actions amount to genocide. They have labeled the interim government as an “evil force.”
