Sheikh Hasina Demands Reinstatement of Awami League

Two years after a seismic uprising forced her from power, former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has broken her silence to demand the legalization of her Awami League party. Speaking from exile in New Delhi, she insisted on a political path home, marking her first direct engagement with international media.

The audio statement, delivered Wednesday at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of South Asia, served as a defiant pushback against the current administration's efforts to sideline her political base. While party colleagues and her son participated via video link, Hasina opted for an audio-only format. The absence of a visual feed remained unexplained, leaving observers to parse her words rather than her demeanor.

Her demand for the ban on the Awami League to be lifted signals a sharpening conflict between the deposed leader and the interim authorities currently managing the country. By reiterating her intention to return to Bangladesh, Hasina is positioning herself as a central figure in the nation's unfolding political volatility, challenging the legitimacy of the measures taken against her party following her 2024 ouster.
