The Awami League has announced nationwide protests and strikes demanding interim leader Dr. Muhammad Yunus’s resignation, escalating Bangladesh’s political confrontation.
The Awami League has accused the current authorities of staging sabotage and repressing its activists, urging supporters to stay alert and continue the Dhaka Lockdown peacefully until people’s rights are restored.
Sheikh Hasina has urged Bangladeshis to continue a nationwide movement until the fall of the Yunus-led government, accusing it of fascism, repression, and widespread attacks on Awami League activists.
A source has alleged that a secret meeting between pro-BNP and Jamaat-aligned bus owners and individuals claiming intelligence ties planned to burn buses and blame the Awami League to fuel political unrest.
Political exclusion in Bangladesh fuels far-right growth, erodes democratic trust, and weakens institutions. Inclusive elections are vital to restore legitimacy and pluralism.
