The video mentioned that these global watchdogs do not care if somebody is in power or not -- so they would expose Awami League leaders for similar corruption if they could -- but they have not.Recently, Pandora's papers leaked around 12 million secret documents. “Be it Pandora's Papers or Panama Papers, no global corruption watchdog has ever named any top-level leader of Awami League. But, BNP leaders were named everywhere,” according to the video report.
