Awami League Leaders Criticize Bangladesh Interim Government Over Election Exclusion

Senior Awami League leaders Hasan Mahmud and Mohibul Hasan Chowdhury criticized Bangladesh's interim government, led by Muhammad Yunus, for barring their party from the upcoming February 12 parliamentary elections, citing fears of the party's popularity. They questioned the interim government's ability to conduct free and fair polls and accused it of human rights violations and failing to protect minorities. The Awami League, currently in exile, has launched a global campaign highlighting these issues and plans further media outreach in India.
