Awami League Bail, Street Politics and Sheikh Hasina's Possible Return

Even during Dr. Yunus’s time, many Awami League leaders were in custody, but right at this very moment, far more are getting bail.

A large number of Awami League members are walking around freely.

They face a crisis, a political crisis. But the fear that was there is gradually easing.

It has eased considerably. There’s also this activity centered around December, and the government is feeling tension over various issues, certainly.

That situation may be affecting this month or recent times, so in the past month and a half, bail was relaxed— I mean, made somewhat stricter.

But before that, it was quite lenient. It was largely lenient.

Bail was being granted en masse, and they are out.

It’s not that they’re now being arrested en masse again.

You’re worried that Jamaat is coming up on the timeline, but no.

Jamaat is getting weaker every day. You'll see that in the past month, there were fewer statements against Jamaat than against the Awami League.

The more statements against the Awami League you see, you'll see many people getting tense.

After the crisis, there was a time when the Awami League wouldn't even dream of holding a rally, but gradually, they're coming out to rallies and carrying out activities.

So the more the Awami League works on the ground, the more disputes and conflicts they'll have with the government and that very conflict creates relevance.

All right? For major politicians like Sheikh Hasina to return, going to a side or something like that isn't an issue. All right?

If she wants, she can even come in a car with 1000s of party leaders.

If she comes to Bangladesh in a courageous style, it will put her politics and her life at risk.

But it would be a milestone for the party and strengthen it.
