Tribute from Bangladesh Awami League President and Bangabandhu’s Daughter Sheikh Hasina on the Occasion of the Father of the Nation’s Birthday and National Children’s Day
March 17, 1920…On this day in 1920, the greatest Bengali of all time and the Father of the Nation, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, was born in Tungipara, Gopalganj, then part of Faridpur District.
During his lifetime, the birthday of the Father of the Nation was observed without grandeur. On this day, he preferred to spend time with children. In recognition of this tradition, the government led by the Bangladesh Awami League introduced the practice of celebrating the day as National Children’s Day. However, taking advantage of political changes, an illegal occupying regime later cancelled all official programs associated with the historic March 17, including National Children’s Day.
On the 105th birth anniversary of the Father of the Nation and on National Children’s Day, today I remember him with deep respect and extend my love and greetings to our beloved children.
The child who grew up on the banks of the Madhumati River, later known to the world as Bangabandhu - Sheikh Mujibur Rahman - did not only give us an independent territory; he gave us the identity of a proud and dignified nation.
As we observe his birth anniversary today, Bangladesh and the entire world are passing through a turbulent time. People who seek peace around the globe are suffering from violent aggression and instability. In such a crisis, Bangabandhu’s historic principle —“Friendship to all, malice toward none”— is more relevant to the world today than ever before. He always wanted Bangladesh to walk its own path with dignity, without becoming a pawn in any military alliance or the sphere of influence of any superpower.
The current political situation in the country, marked by various conspiracies and the arrogance of undemocratic forces, has created a prolonged period of uncertainty. Bangabandhu taught us: “No one can suppress us.” These times of uncertainty, oppression, and persecution will pass if we remain steadfast in Bangabandhu’s ideals of building a secular, exploitation-free, and democratic ‘Sonar Bangla.’
To the children and young generation, I say: pursue higher education, but also learn from the courageous life and struggles of Bangabandhu. Build your lives inspired by his ideals. With honesty, patriotism, and courage, you must stand firm against any aggression.
Let the realization of the Father of the Nation’s dream be the guiding mission of our lives.
Joy Bangla. Joy Bangabandhu.
May darkness fade and dawn arrive.
May Bangladesh live forever.

On 12 February 2026, Bangladesh’s promised return to democracy under the interim administration of Muhammad Yunus instead sparked controversy. While the Election Commission reported 59.4% turnout, independent accounts described empty polling centres and estimated participation as low as 10–13%, raising serious questions about legitimacy and public mandate.

Official data from the Bangladesh Election Commission for 208 constituencies shows major inconsistencies between parliamentary election and referendum vote counts.
▪️ 139 constituencies recorded more votes in the parliamentary election
▪️ 60 constituencies saw more votes in the referendum
▪️ 9 constituencies reported identical figures in both polls
In some seats, like Cumilla-10, the referendum recorded thousands more votes than the parliamentary election. In others, including Sirajganj-4, extra ballots exceeded the margin of victory.
Election officials cited possible counting or handling errors, but full nationwide data is still pending.
The discrepancies raise serious concerns about transparency and the integrity of the electoral process.

Top cop authorised arbitrary detention and jailing of Awami League supporters and activists
--
Extrajudicial ban on Awami League opens door to jail people without trial, no human rights for dissenters in Bangladesh
Taking advantage of the the illegal ban on Awami League, the #DIG for #Rajshahi range issued written order authorising cops to use shown arrest against activists and supporters of Awami League if they secure bail.
The DIG asked cops to find out every single Awami League leaders and activists who manages bail and put them in jail without any trial,replicating Yunus’s pogrom.
This order justifying arbitrary detention and jail people under pretext of taking part in activities of illegally outlawed Awami League contravenes all basic fundamentals of #humanrights.

In order to impose a ban on Awami League, the Interim Govt had to pass a new Ordinance amending the Anti-Terrorism 2009 to arrogate the power of banning activities of a political party and then published S.R.O. 137Ain/2025 on the basis of new power.
Article 93(2) of the Constitution requires the new BNP Govt to lay this Anti Terrorism Ordinance before Parliament at its first meeting.
The Ordinance shall cease to have effect at the expiration of thirty days after it is so laid unless a validating Act is passed within that period.
Within this thirty-day constitutional window, the BNP-led government may either allow it to lapse or approve the Ordinance through legislation (thereby incorporating the ordinance and the S.R.O.-based powers into the permanent text of the Anti-Terrorism Act, 2009), in the latter case the Ordinance and all executive measures that depend on it—including the proscription of the Awami League as an “entity” and the derivative Election Commission deregistration, would be unconstitutional and shall be subject to judicial review.
Should the BNP government secure parliamentary approval of the amendment in its existing form, this would signify an intention to endorse and continue the interim administration’s abuse of anti-terrorism law as a basis for banning political parties and undermine democracy, thereby normalising an extraordinary proscription regime and entrenching the exclusion of the Bangladesh Awami League from political and electoral process. Conversely, if the BNP Govt. does not take step for endorsing the Ordinance, this would indicate a positive stance on their part to distance them from the hostile interim government’s approach, to restore a narrower, rights-compatible anti-terrorism framework. To reopen space for pluralistic party competition and inclusive democracy, BNP must not allow endorsement of the Ordinance by the new Parliament and let it lapse after 30 days of first sitting of Parliament.
