Randhir Jaiswal
New Delhi: During the weekly media briefing, Foreign Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal answered questions related to many issues including Pakistan. When Jaiswal imposed a class of Pakistan on terrorism, he also reacted to the recent developments in Bangladesh. The question that was asked to him about Bangladesh was associated with Sheikh Hasina’s party Awami League.
‘Awami League banned worrying developments’
Randhir Jaiswal said, “The ban on Awami League without proper process is a worrying development. As a democracy, India is naturally worried about cutting democratic freedom and shrinking of political place. We strongly support conducting independent, fair and inclusive elections in Bangladesh as soon as possible.
Action taken under anti -terrorism law
Let me tell you that recently, Mohammad Yunus, the head of the interim government, had taken major action against the party of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Sheikh Hasina’s party Awami League has been banned in Bangladesh. This action has been taken under the anti -terrorism law.

The Bangladesh Awami League was established on 23 June 1949. It was established in Dhaka (then East Pakistan) under the name ‘East Pakistan Awami Muslim League’. The party later removed the word ‘Muslim’ and made it a secular party and named ‘Awami League’. The prominent leaders of the establishment of this party included Maulana Abdul Hameed Khan Bhashani, Shamsul Haq and Hussain Shaheed Suhravardi. The party got a big identity when Sheikh Mujibur Rahman started leading it. He played a historic role in the direction of freedom from Pakistan, leading in the 1971 Bangladesh liberation struggle.
