The political situation in Bangladesh is currently in a critical state, with conflicts and unrest between various parties. Dr. Muhammad Yunus was forced to flee to India on August 5 due to student agitation against the (Sheikh Hasina's) Awami League government. Sheikh Hasina's party has called for a movement against the government. Awami League has even announced to enter the field within two weeks. Awami League is going to start a movement on the streets soon against the government of Nobel laureate Dr. Mohammad Yunus. This information was given in a recent report citing a top leader of the party. Voice of America reports.
Interim Government. At the beginning of this month, the International Criminal Tribunal issued arrest warrants against forty-five people, including Sheikh Hasina.
The student movement against Sheikh Hasina's government is largely a reflection of political interference and the erosion of democratic institutions over the past 15 years. When the student crowd took to the streets, they expressed their discontent against the government, which is a big challenge for the Awami League. Meanwhile, Shafiul Alam Chowdhury, one of the few leaders of Awami League who fled Bangladesh after the popular uprising, said in an interview to Voice of America that the organizing secretary of Awami League said that the party is contacting other political parties to unite the leaders and start protests against the interim government. When asked when the Awami League is planning to take to the streets, the leader of the party said that after two weeks or a month they may start the movement.
Pressure is building on the interim government to quickly reform and hold elections. BNP and other political parties have been demanding constitutional reforms against the government. If the elections are delayed, it will create a political vacuum, which could be advantageous for the opposition parties. Political analysts are warning that if Awami League joins the movement, the situation in the country may worsen. Anger may rise among the people and may lead to social unrest. Dialogue is needed to resolve the uncertainty and tension prevailing in the political scenario of Bangladesh. However, in the current situation, Awami League is unwilling to negotiate with the government. It will be difficult to establish stability without compromise and negotiation among political parties.
