Dhaka, Dec 2 (NationPress) The Awami League of Bangladesh has criticized the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus for demonstrating a complete lack of accountability towards the nation, accusing it of orchestrating one farce after another in the guise of justice, ultimately squandering public funds and the judiciary's time.

This statement followed a Dhaka court's decision on Monday to sentence former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to five years in prison due to alleged irregularities in the plot allocation related to the Purbachal New Town project.

Moreover, Hasina's sister, Sheikh Rehana, received a seven-year sentence, while her niece, British MP Tulip Siddiq, was sentenced to two years.

In denouncing the judgment as a fabricated corruption case concerning plot allocations against Hasina, Rehana, and others, the Awami League asserted that the Yunus regime, characterized as an illegal usurper and killer-fascist, is misusing public resources to create a suspense drama that has devolved into absurdity.

They went on to state, “They keep recycling the same narrative, merely changing characters or adjusting their roles. With the entire might of the state, they are striving to depict Sheikh Hasina as corrupt. This relentless campaign alone confirms that neither Sheikh Hasina nor any member of the Bangabandhu family is involved in corruption. This entire operation is being conducted with a preordained intention to label them as corrupt through the misuse of state mechanisms,” as articulated in an Awami League statement.

The party contended that the allocation of government plots in Bangladesh is governed by specific laws and regulations, and that Hasina and her family members obtained their plots in compliance with these regulations.

“This case and its verdict have emerged entirely unlawfully through a blatant misuse of power by those in charge. Justice will prevail one day. The harassment of so many officials over mere ten kathas of land is unprecedented. If any irregularity existed in the plot allocation, it could simply have been annulled. Why then should officials be subjected to such undue pressure? This is a profound injustice. Disrupting the livelihoods of so many individuals is tantamount to inflicting harm upon them,” the Awami League declared.

The party further emphasized that “behind the façade of daily sensational corruption dramas,” the Yunus-led government is attempting to obscure its own unrestrained corruption and lack of accountability.

“Without the people's mandate, these illegal occupiers have already been marked as anti-people and corrupt. The citizens of Bangladesh will not forgive these corrupt forces in the near future. No deception will rescue them. For usurping people's rights and their reckless actions, they will inevitably face justice on Bangladeshi soil,” the Awami League concluded.
