Played big in Bangladesh! Now Hasina has raised questions on the decision of the murder which she herself got investigated, why?

News India Live, Digital Desk: There has been an unexpected and big turn in the politics of Bangladesh. Jailed former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has rejected the death sentence given to a leader of her own party (Awami League) in a murder case. Hasina has raised serious questions over the impartiality of the interim government led by Professor Muhammad Yunus, calling the decision “illegal” and “politically motivated”.

This case may create a new storm in the politics of Bangladesh, where Sheikh Hasina and her party leaders have been in legal trouble since the change of power.

What is the whole matter?

In fact, a Bangladesh court has sentenced several accused to death in the murder case of Zahidul Islam Tipu, an influential leader of the Awami League. As soon as this decision came, Sheikh Hasina issued a statement from jail itself and strongly opposed it.

The surprising thing is that the investigation into this murder case had started during Sheikh Hasina’s government, but now she has raised questions on the entire judicial process.

What allegations did Sheikh Hasina make against Yunus government?

Sheikh Hasina has directly called this court decision a part of the politics of revenge of the Yunus government. In his statement he said:

• “This punishment is illegal and illegitimate”: He said that the investigation conducted during his government was in the right direction, but the present government has influenced the investigation and implicated innocent people.
• Government accused of taking revenge: “This interim government is working on an agenda to destroy our party and target our leaders. They are misusing the judiciary to take political revenge,” Hasina said.
• Attack on the rule of law: He called it a direct attack on democracy and the rule of law and claimed that true justice is not possible in the country unless his party returns to power.

Why is this step of Hasina important?

This statement of Sheikh Hasina is important in many ways.

1. Trying to unite his party: Through this statement, she is trying to send the message that she stands with every leader of her party even in difficult times, no matter how serious the allegations are against him.
2. Putting pressure on Yunus government: With such statements, she wants to put pressure on the interim government at the international and national level, so that she can get some relief in the cases pending against her.
3. To gain public sympathy: She is also trying to gain public sympathy by portraying herself and her party as “victims”.

This entire incident shows that the struggle for power in Bangladesh is now being fought through courts and jails rather than the streets, where every decision has become a political weapon. Now it remains to be seen how effective this move of Sheikh Hasina proves to be.
