Special Correspondent

Sheikh Hasina, President of the Awami League, assured justice for the attacks, killings, and persecutions faced by her party’s supporters during a virtual discussion on Monday night. Addressing her supporters, she stated, “Do not worry. I am coming back.”

Since leaving the country on August 5 last year, Sheikh Hasina has maintained contact with party workers through virtual communications, regularly broadcasted on the official Facebook page of the Bangladesh Awami League.

In Monday’s live session, which lasted over an hour, Sheikh Hasina listened to the grievances of her supporters, who alleged various forms of oppression on their families. Assuring them, she pledged to ensure justice for all these incidents.

Speaking to the families of slain activists and the injured, Sheikh Hasina vowed, “In the name of Allah, I pledge to bring the killers to justice. Perhaps that’s why Allah has saved me from death so many times.”

She reiterated that murder cases never expire, urging her supporters to seek out the perpetrators for punishment. “Allah has kept me alive for this purpose. Do not worry. I am coming back,” she emphasized.

During the session, Sheikh Hasina compared the current state of Bangladesh with the tenure of her government. She criticized the actions of Dr. Yunus, the Chief Advisor of the caretaker government, calling his measures politically motivated.

She highlighted the case of Abu Saeed, killed in July, stating, “They only wanted his dead body. I heard he had suffered a head injury, but when taken to the hospital, they didn’t allow even basic treatment, creating chaos instead.”

The Awami League leader remarked, “We never treated our opponents this way, but Yunus is doing this to consolidate power.”

She accused Dr. Yunus of exploiting the poor through microloans with high interest rates, channeling the profits abroad for a luxurious lifestyle. “We once thought he was helping the poor and supported him. Later, it became clear he was misusing their money. His greed for power has set Bangladesh ablaze.”

She repeatedly criticized Yunus as a “usurer” and a “violator of humanity,” emphasizing the need for justice against the perpetrators of violence.

Sheikh Hasina assured the victimized families, “Justice will be served in Bangladesh for these heinous crimes. Have patience.”

She also urged for the current situation in Bangladesh to be highlighted at international platforms like Amnesty International and other global human rights organizations.
