The Awami League on Monday alleged that the interim government has initiated a plan to undermine the country by reviving elements of Pakistani ideology. In a statement shared on the party’s verified Facebook page, the Awami League claimed, “This illegitimate government is working on a grand conspiracy to bring back the ideology of Pakistan and destroy the country.” The statement accused anti-Awami League and anti-liberation political figures of plotting to fill key constitutional positions with their allies in an attempt to weaken political forces supportive of the Liberation War. Citing various Bangladeshi media reports, the statement warned of an ongoing scheme to appoint the leader of an anti-liberation political party to head a significant constitutional institution, describing it as a threat to Bangladesh’s sovereignty. “If the Razakar-Al Badr forces had won the Liberation War of 1971, the regime we are seeing today would resemble what they would have established. However, the people of Bangladesh will not stand for this,” the statement read. The Awami League emphasized that under Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, political figures were never appointed to constitutional institutions, and that she has ensured impartiality in these appointments. “Politicizing constitutional posts undermines good governance. Political leaders in these positions will likely use their authority to target and suppress their opponents, leading to violence against innocent people and political figures,” the statement added. The party further claimed that the current government’s attempts to manipulate constitutional posts will have negative consequences, warning that those involved in the conspiracy will eventually suffer from their actions. The Awami League recalled past efforts to destroy the party, dating back to Pakistan’s rule, and asserted that these conspiracies had always failed. “This illegitimate government will also fail. History has shown that whenever the Awami League faced conspiracies, it emerged stronger and more resilient,” the statement concluded.
