US Awami League Vice President Dr Rabbi Alam exuded confidence that Sheikh Hasina would return as Bangladeshi Prime Minister and suggested Bangladesh Advisor should return from where he came. Alam, who is a close aide of ousted Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, thanked India for sheltering her.
"We want to ask the Bangladesh Advisor to step down and go back to where he came from... Sheikh Hasina is coming back as the Prime Minister. The young generation has made a mistake, but that's not their fault; they have been manipulated," he told ANI.
On August 5, a student-led movement ousted Bangladesh's Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, after weeks of protests and clashes that killed over 600 people. The 77-year-old leader fled to India following the clashes, and an interim government led by Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus was formed.
Alam has expressed deep concerns over the current turmoil in Bangladesh, saying that the country is "under attack" and urging the international community to intervene.
“Bangladesh is under attack, and it needs to be addressed by the international community. A political uprising is fine, but that is not what has been going on in Bangladesh. This is a terrorist uprising. Many of our leaders are sheltered here in India, and we are very thankful to the Indian government for providing the alignment," he said.
The Awami League leader thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for providing a safe travel passage for Sheikh Hasina.
