Awami League has announced a series of political programs, including a general strike and a nationwide blockade.

Earlier Bangladesh's interim government led by Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus was seeking to renegotiate the 2017 deal with Adani and alleged that Adani withheld tax benefits.

A voice note of ousted Bangladesh premier Sheikh Hasina describing how she and her sister escaped death when she fled the country last August has been shared online by her Awami League party.

Bangladesh`s former PM Sheikh Hasina reveals multiple assassination plots against her and her sister, recounting near-death experiences and surviving attacks.

I feel surviving 21 August killings, or bomb in Kotalipara, or surviving on 5 August, 2024, there must a hand of Allah,’ says Hasina in video message posted on Awami League’s Facebook.

According to the HRW report, "Officers involved in enforced disappearances also told Human Rights Watch that Sheikh Hasina or senior government had knowledge of incommunicado detentions, and that, in some cases, Hasina directly ordered enforced disappearances and killings".

The Awami League has been virtually out of the open political landscape since August 5, 2024, with most of its leaders and Hasina’s cabinet members either in jail on murder and other criminal charges or on the run at home and abroad.

Former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina has alleged that she and her younger sister Sheikh Rehana escaped death by 20-25 minutes as her party, the Bangladesh Awami League shares audio note on Facebook.

Meanwhile, Local Government and Youth and Sports Adviser Asif Mahmud Sajeeb Bhuiyan, another leader of the Anti-Discrimination Movement, in a Facebook post on Saturday, said "There will be efforts or debates about who is more advanced in doing people's welfare”.

This comes as the first major demonstration by the Awami League, whose most of the leaders have either been arrested or underground since the fall of the Hasina-led government on August 5 last year following a students-led anti-discrimination movement.
