Awami League Statement: Fascist Yunus Government Creating Border Crisis to Divert Public Attention

Dhaka: In a statement issued by the Awami League, it has been said that the illegal and unconstitutional fascist Yunus government has taken away the public’s sense of relief in just a few months. The people’s suffocation is a result of the government’s oppression, torture, and exploitation. The only goal of this government is to divert public attention, and for this purpose, they are artificially creating border issues and raising anti-India rhetoric.

The statement further mentioned that the Home Affairs Adviser, Lt. Gen. (Retd.) Jahangir Alam Chowdhury, has falsely stated that “there were no measures regarding the border in the past” and has referred to the border issue as a step taken by the interim government. The Awami League claims that creating problems at the border is a sign of unhealthy mentality and undiplomatic behavior, and that the current government’s duty should have been to maintain peaceful relations with neighboring countries and ensure stability at the border.

According to the Awami League, under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh was able to ensure stability at the border through mutual understanding with neighboring countries. The statement highlighted the past 53 years of success, stating, “Due to Sheikh Hasina’s courageous leadership, Bangladesh has won legal battles with neighboring countries Myanmar and India, and made important agreements regarding the border.”

The statement also criticized the current government’s handling of the border, claiming that under the Awami League government, there were no major tensions or crises at the border. Even minor issues were addressed and resolved under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina, with former Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) Director General Major General (Retd.) A. L. M. Fazlur Rahman cited as an example.

The Awami League further criticized the government’s claims about border security, pointing out the insecurity at the Teknaf border and how the people of Teknaf and Saint Martin are now unsafe. The party accused the incompetent Home Affairs Adviser of boasting about border security while the people clearly witness how unprotected the border is.

Additionally, the Awami League raised accusations about the Home Affairs Adviser, who was formerly the head of the BGB, and claimed that he had released nearly 400 convicted individuals involved in the BDR massacre. They asked, “What is the reason for his bias towards those involved in the killing of army officers?”

The statement also suggested that the current Home Affairs Adviser’s involvement in the BDR massacre plot is beyond doubt.

In conclusion, the Awami League condemned the government’s actions, stating, “This unconstitutional government is turning Bangladesh into a haven for terrorism and extremism.”
