Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina
Bangladesh Awami League Ban: Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s party has taken major action against the interim government chief Mohammad Yunus. Sheikh Hasina’s party Awami League has been banned in Bangladesh. This action has been taken under the anti -terrorism law. Let us tell you about Awami League in such a situation.
Establishment in 1949
The Bangladesh Awami League was established on 23 June 1949. It was established in Dhaka (then East Pakistan) under the name ‘East Pakistan Awami Muslim League’. The party later removed the word ‘Muslim’ and made it a secular party and named ‘Awami League’. The prominent leaders of the establishment of this party included Maulana Abdul Hameed Khan Bhashani, Shamsul Haq and Hussain Shaheed Suhravardi.
Priority given to Bengali people’s rights
Awami League preferred the demand for the rights and self -government of Bengali people from the beginning. The party’s ideology is based on democracy, secularism, nationalism and social justice.
When did the party recognize
The party got a big identity when Sheikh Mujibur Rahman started leading it. He is called “Bangabandhu” (friend of Bengal). He played a historic role in the direction of freedom from Pakistan, leading in the 1971 Bangladesh liberation struggle.
Freedom struggle of 1971
The Awami League won the 1970 general elections by an overwhelming majority in the eastern part of Pakistan. However, the power of West Pakistan did not recognize it. In protest, the Awami League started the movement, which ended with the formation of Bangladesh.
Role after independence
After separating from Western Pakistan in 1971, the new country became Bangladesh. Sheikh Mujib became the first Prime Minister of Bangladesh. However, he was assassinated in a military coup in 1975. After this, the party remained out of power for many years.
Also know
Today, the head of the Awami League is Sheikh Hasina, who is the daughter of Sheikh Mujib. Hasina has been the Prime Minister of Bangladesh several times (since 1996–2001, 2009 till now). Under his leadership, the party has made several improvements in Bangladesh’s economy, education and infrastructure. In recent years, the party has been accused of weakening democracy, suppressing opposing parties and centralization of power.
