What is the interim government's stance on Sheikh Hasina and the Awami League party's future in Bangladesh?
The interim government, through Yunus's Press Secretary, has reaffirmed its commitment to bringing justice to those involved in killings, enforced disappearances, and other crimes from the Awami League, including former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The government appears determined to pursue extradition proceedings against Hasina from India. Regarding the future of Hasina's Awami League party, the Press Secretary cast doubt on its survival, stating that ultimately the people of Bangladesh will decide if the party will continue to exist in the country's political landscape. This suggests the interim government is leaving the party's fate to public sentiment rather than taking direct action against it as an organization.
