Sheikh Hasina's statement 'I will return to Bangladesh this year' has increased political excitement from New Delhi to Dhaka. The Awami League chief has made an official announcement regarding his return to Bangladesh for the first time after 22 months. There are 663 cases registered against Hasina in Bangladesh. A Dhaka court has also sentenced him to death in a case of crimes against humanity. In such a situation, various questions are being raised regarding the announcement of Haseena's return.

Why is Hasina's return necessary in Bangladesh?

78 years old Sheikh Hasina Head of Bangladesh Awami League. The party's activities have come to a halt after Hasina's arrival in India. The party is banned in Bangladesh. There was increasing pressure on Hasina to give a leader to the party. If Hasina had handed over the party to any leader, then in the future, her family's influence on the party may end.

In such a situation, Hasina herself has decided to return to Bangladesh. Hasina has already done politics in Bangladesh during the tenure of BNP government.

Haseena's comeback script is being written!

1. Recently, the Election Commission gave permission to the upcoming league workers to contest the elections as independent in connection with the upcoming Panchayat elections. Awami League leaders did not have this exemption in the general elections. The Commission said that if Awami League workers prepare an affidavit then they can be allowed to contest the elections. It is being said that the Commission took this decision in view of the soft stance of BNP. Panchayat elections are proposed in Bangladesh at the end of this year.

2. Jamaat-e-Islami can be banned in Bangladesh. This issue was raised in the National Parliament on Sunday (28 June). Ruling party BNP MP Rafiqul Islam demanded a ban on Jamaat. Meanwhile, government minister and senior party leader Fakhrul Islam Algameer said - Jamaat has not yet apologized for 1971. They have nothing to do with freedom.

3. Jamaat MP ATM Azhar said- Efforts are being made to re-establish Awami League in the National Parliament. Preparations are being made to eliminate the Jamaat and bring the weak Sheikh Hasina into the role of opposition. The government has not yet found any candidate for the post of President. This is all collusion.
