Is the Awami League taking appropriate steps to return to the game?

Opinion

I talk to many activists. They are all disappointed. Not because the Awami League is not in power. They are disappointed mainly because the Awami League has almost stopped its organizational activities. They are also disappointed because those for whom the Awami League has failed are being pushed forward and given the responsibility of protecting their faces.

The biggest question is, will we engage in activism? At the end of the day, when the good days come, these people will once again be the ones who have caused the ideological and moral defeat and degradation of the party.

So who will I do it for? Yes, for the country, but will I hand over the country’s fate to those people who have apparently “eaten the honey and gone”?

This question is not only for activists, but also for the partisans who are active in the field during this time of danger, even losing everything, including jail and fines. They may not say it when talking to leaders, but it says a lot to us.

Many people are upset with a status of Ami Rahman Piyal Bhai, because he compared him to Congress. But if the right decision is not taken at the right time, whether it is the party, the business establishment, or the cultural organization – everything ends.

The problem is, there is no one to answer this question. Even when asked by someone in charge, they express helplessness.

Many activists are also burnt out after working day and night (one post per hour) for the past year. The most active ones are reducing their activities one by one due to lack of incentives. Incentives do not mean idle talk, but correct and timely steps, decisions and strategies.

Yes, the activists are not from the Awami League. But then again, after August 5th, the activists are everything.

Many of us may have expectations, but most of us don’t really have expectations. If the country is good, we are good.

We are not the policy makers of a political party like the Awami League. We may not have that organizational skills, but we can influence opinion, push opinion, create narratives. This is our ability.

But is the Awami League, for whom this is being done, really taking the necessary steps to get back into the game? Does anyone else have any headaches except Sheikh Hasina?

Who will answer this question?

The people of the country are fed up, who will give the message of liberation?

Does anyone have the answer?
