"Stateswoman Sheikh Hasina will once again take the lead in rebuilding this devastated, wounded and bloodied Bangladesh."

Statement by Bangladesh Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader

2 Jun 2025 3:35 PM IST

Unconstitutional and illegal power grab, sponsor of militant groups, the so-called interim government led by Dr. Yunus has declared all the activities of the Bangladesh Awami League, the founding political party of the Bangladesh state, completely unconstitutional, illegal and unjustly banned. This is not only unconstitutional, illegal or unjust, but also a decision taken against the will of the people, which has surprised the entire nation. Every patriotic person is stunned by this uncivilized activity. We have no language to condemn and hate such an uncivilized decision.

The contribution of the Awami League to the development of the mindset of this Bengali nation and the formation of the Bangladesh state is undeniable. In other words, the establishment of the Bangladesh state was achieved by the Awami League under the leadership of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The Awami League has undisputed leadership in the struggle for the Bengali language, the struggle for self-rule and above all the liberation struggle, independence and liberation war. Such a glorious role of a single political party in establishing a state is rare in the history of the world. All the great achievements of the Bengalis since the independence of the country have come through the hands of the Awami League. After the establishment of the independent state, the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu wrote an era-appropriate constitution for the independent and sovereign nation in less than a year.

In this constitution, written with the blood of 3 million martyrs, initiatives were taken to establish Bangladesh as a truly welfare-oriented state. Under the leadership of the Father of the Nation, the Awami League government turned Bangladesh into one of the best economies in South Asia in terms of per capita income in just three and a half years. With the aim of transforming Bangladesh into a sustainable state, Bangabandhu's Awami League government signed a 25-year friendship agreement with India. At the request of Bangabandhu, the Indian armed forces were withdrawn just three months after the war of independence. This is also a rare event in the history of world wars. To protect the sovereignty of the country, the Awami League government under the leadership of Bangabandhu signed a land boundary agreement with India. This land boundary agreement was fully implemented in favor of Bangladesh's national interests, at the initiative of Bangabandhu's daughter Sheikh Hasina, with the sincerity of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

After the assassination of the Father of the Nation along with his family on August 15, 1975, there was a conspiracy to return Bangladesh to the ideology of Pakistan for decades. After almost six years of exile, Bangabandhu's eldest daughter, Sheikh Hasina, returned to the country on May 17, 1981, to establish the minimum rights of the people of the country, including the right to vote and rice. She returned to lead the democratic struggle. Sheikh Hasina transformed from a struggling leader into a timeless statesman. She took Bangladesh to the level of leadership in the world court. The extensive economic and social development and progress in Bangladesh was achieved through her hands. Under Sheikh Hasina's leadership, Bangladesh was established as a role model for development in the world. Bangladesh's transformation from a low-developed country to a middle-income country was achieved under her leadership. However, today's illegal occupier conspirators are trying to tarnish the reputation of Bangabandhu's daughter, Sheikh Hasina, and Sheikh Rehana, including other family members, by telling fabricated stories of corruption. Those who brought glory and honor to the country are today extremely dishonorable, which is a shame for the entire nation.

The conspiracy to destroy the independence and sovereignty of Bangladesh and hand the country over to foreigners was implemented on August 5, 2024. Foreign agent Yunus was completely unconstitutionally and illegally installed in state power. Since then, this person has already completed all the activities that can be taken to destroy the country.

Genocide was committed all over the country on August 5 and later. The country's police force, leaders and activists of the Awami League, political parties and their leaders in favor of the liberation war, and the country's religious minorities, especially Hindus, are victims of indescribable torture and oppression as well as genocide. Like a bloodthirsty, self-delusional king, the illegal occupying fascist Yunus has imprisoned our beloved motherland in the grip of misrule.

The country's economy has been completely destroyed and the country has been brought to the brink of famine. The backbone of the civil administration, including the police force, has been broken. People of all classes and professions, including journalists, lawyers and cultural workers of various media outlets, have been tortured and false harassment cases have been filed against them. The country's teaching community has been humiliated and insulted. Numerous teachers have been unfairly dismissed. Violence and insults against women have broken all records in history.

In the name of constitutional reform, initiatives have been taken to cancel the constitution written in the blood of 3 million martyrs through foreigners and to settle the country's independence and sovereignty in the hands of foreigners. All initiatives have been taken to erase the name of the Liberation War from the history of Bangladesh. In the continuation of the period after 75, initiatives have been taken to ban the name of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu. They are destroying all the hard-earned achievements of the country.

This evil force is conspiring to hand over the territory of Bangladesh to foreigners in the name of the corridor. Our leader Bangabandhu's daughter Sheikh Hasina has been talking about this foreign conspiracy many times. Yunus is constantly trying to sell the country as a foreign agent. In the meantime, many patriots including the Bangladesh Army have warned everyone about this. Yunus and his militant group are handing over many important state facilities including the Chittagong port and air base to foreigners.

Since Yunus illegally seized power, he has been harboring religious extremist groups and terrorists in a way that is not only a threat to the national security of Bangladesh, but also dangerous to the national security and regional stability of our friend India. Yunus' militant government has been constantly behaving hostilely towards our closest friend in the Liberation War, India. However, Pakistan, our enemy in the Liberation War and the perpetrator of the genocide in Bangladesh in 1971, is today a close friend of Bangladesh. This is very shameful for the Bengali nation.

During Sheikh Hasina's government, those involved in genocide and crimes against humanity in the Liberation War were tried according to international standards. The whole world, including Bangladesh, welcomed this trial. As a revenge for the initiative taken by the Awami League government to take this trial, the anti-liberation forces of Bangladesh have put Sheikh Hasina and many prominent people who supported the Liberation War in the International Crimes Tribunal.

The demonic nature of the dictatorship that has been introduced in the country against the rule of law has surpassed even the barbarity of the Middle Ages. No one's life is safe in Bangladesh today. People are being killed like dogs on the streets in the name of tyranny. No one, women, children, the elderly, or the disabled, is spared from this tyranny. The air of Bangladesh today is filled with the cries of mothers who have lost their children, the cries of children who have lost their fathers and mothers, the pain of sisters who have lost their brothers, and the cries of wives who have lost their husbands.

In order to give a lasting and lasting form to this more demonic and terrible tyranny in Bangladesh than that of the Middle Ages, Yunus and his militant group took the initiative to resist the Awami League, the party that led the liberation war. As part of this, they have declared all the activities of the Awami League illegal and illegitimate. The Awami League is not a dry leaf falling in the wind that, if pressed in the palm of your hand, will crumble with a loud sound. The roots of the Bangladesh Awami League are deeply rooted in the soil of Bangladesh. The Awami League is a political organization soaked in the blood, sweat, and love of the people of the country.

History gives the right answer at the right time. During the liberation struggle led by the Father of the Nation, the Pakistani group had banned the Awami League. History has shown its way. That Awami League gave birth to the Bangladesh state under the leadership of Bangabandhu. In 2025, the Awami League was banned again. This time too, the Awami League will create new history. The Awami League sings the victory song of life while standing in the procession of death, and flies the flag of creation while standing in the rubble. The Awami League is a party that creates history. Like a phoenix bird, it is reborn again from the ashes.

In these nine months, the nation has understood who are the true friends of this country, who are patriots and who are foreign agents, implementers of foreign conspiracies. Bengalis are waiting like the Chatak bird, for the statesman Sheikh Hasina to take charge again with the aim of rebuilding this destroyed, wounded and bloody Bangladesh. People are alive today with that dream. We believe that our leader, Sheikh Hasina, the daughter of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu, will fulfill this difficult responsibility to protect the country and the nation and to restore the lost glory and . dignity of Bangladesh. Joy Bangla, Joy Bangabandhu, Long live Bangladesh.
