Advisor Mahfuz Alam has said he has learned of India's "political decision" not to return ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina despite Bangladesh's request.
The article from bdnews24.com discusses the political dynamics in Bangladesh as the country approaches its general elections. It highlights the ongoing tensions between the ruling Awami League and the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). The BNP has been pushing for the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the establishment of a neutral caretaker government to oversee the elections, a demand that has been consistently rejected by the Awami League. The article mentions recent political activities, including protests and strikes organized by the BNP, which have led to clashes with law enforcement and resulted in casualties. Additionally, there are reports of arrests of BNP leaders and activists, which the opposition claims are attempts to suppress their movement. The international community, including the United States, has expressed concerns over the political violence and the fairness of the electoral process. The piece also touches on the economic implications of the political instability, with fears that continued unrest could deter foreign investment and affect economic growth.
