Grand Reception at Indian Airport
The extent of the collaboration between Sheikh Hasina and the Modi government became apparent when Sheikh Hasina received an elaborate welcome at an Indian airport, where she is currently hiding.
India’s Political Manipulations in Bangladesh
For many years now, India has been using Bangladesh as a pawn in its political game plays. Under Sheikh Hasina’s leadership, Bangladesh became a puppet state where policies were formulated solely to serve Indian interests rather than the good of the Bangladeshi people. These policies often led to severe human rights violations and repression. Her government systematically targeted dissenters, crushing any form of opposition and ensuring the elimination of all opposition figures.
Targeting Jamaat-e-Islami: A Manifestation of Hatred
Sheikh Hasina’s administration banned Jamaat-e-Islami as part of her move to solidify the power base by suppressing any opposition group within the country; this political organization had a large following among conservative Muslims who thought they represented their values better than any other party did. The banning itself, plus subsequent persecutions meted out against its members, reflected deep-rooted anti-Pakistani sentiment harbored not only by herself but also by influential quarters aligned with New Delhi’s agenda elsewhere around the globe.
Election Manipulations and Political Repression
In 2014, general elections across Bangladesh saw unprecedented rigging orchestrated mainly by the ruling Awami League party headed by Sheikh Hasina. The leader of the main opposition party, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), was put under house arrest on the sole ground that he had an association with Jamaat-e-Islami. This act showed how far the government would go in stifling political dissent.
Executions and Judicial Injustice
During her time as Prime Minister, people accused Sheikh Hasina of executing many top leaders from Jamaat-e-Islami, such as Motiur Rahman Nizami and Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mujahid, who were found guilty of terrorism-related cases. However, many widely viewed these executions as politically motivated moves aimed at eliminating all forms of opposition to Awami League rule rather than a genuine fight against terrorism. Critics heavily criticized the judiciary for its lack of transparency and fairness during trials, leading the international community to condemn what they termed kangaroo courts held under the military regime.
Historical Roots of Enmity
In 1971, Sheikh Mujibur Rehman, the founding father of Bangladesh, conspired with Indian authorities in the Agartala plan to seek the separation of East Pakistan from West Pakistan. This conspiracy, known popularly as the Agartala Conspiracy Case, sowed the seeds of hostility between Bangladesh and Pakistan. However, it failed to succeed because its discovery led to an immediate crackdown by Pakistani security forces, which arrested thousands of people suspected of having links to insurgency groups working towards independence for the region, which eventually happened a year later after a bitter war fought between two nations.
The Role of RAW and Suppression of Freedom
Under Sheikh Hasina’s leadership, RAW — India’s Research Analysis Wing — exercised considerable control over affairs within Bangladesh, thereby severely curtailing civil liberties there. “They achieved this by using state machinery to silence critics and conspiring with foreign intelligence agencies from countries like Israel or the USA, known for their hostility towards certain Islamic movements seen as potential threats. These actions demonstrated the extent of external interference in the country’s internal matters, especially when democratic institutions are vulnerable.
A Historic Denouncement from the Masses
In response to such chaos, Bangladeshi citizens have taken a stand. The rejection of the Hasina-Modi alliance at all levels throughout the country represents an unprecedented protest against foreign interference and national oppression. This refusal shines with hopefulness as it demonstrates that no matter what kind of oppressive regime comes their way next, Bangladeshi people will always bounce back stronger than before — ready once more to fight for independence under better leadership that does not suppress its people or let others do so!
