After the assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on August 15, 1975, Awami League was in crisis of existence. Then some leaders of the party fled to India. But after August 5, 2024, the situation is different. Leader of the party Sheikh Hasina herself fled to India leaving behind the leaders and activists. The leaders in the country are also out of sight, many in hiding. The president is abroad, the secretary Obaidul Quader is nowhere to be found, the senior leaders are in hiding - in this situation, the biggest question is who will take the lead of Awami League? Who will Sheikh Hasina trust?
Sheikh Hasina survived on August 15 because she was abroad. At that time he took political asylum from West Germany to India, in a different context. Many big leaders of the party have followed the path of Sheikh Hasina.
It is heard that, without saying anything to anyone, at least two leaders of the party ordered the leaders and activists to go to India considering the situation. That is why all the 'masterminds' have reached India safely?
In the face of unprecedented student protests, Sheikh Hasina left power and fled to India on August 5. He is still staying there. He is going to Dubai - it has been rumored for a few days.
The whole country is in turmoil with the news of Sheikh Hasina leaving India, just then her son Sajib Wazed Joy opened up about the issue.
While talking to the media on Monday night, Sajib Wazed Joy said that the news of Sheikh Hasina leaving India is not correct.
Joy said, 'The news that my mother has left India is not true. He is still staying in India.'
Earlier, Sajib Wazed Joy said that former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has no pressure to leave India.
Anyway, sometimes Sheikh Hasina talks to the leaders and workers of her party on the phone. Many call it the 'audio revolution'. Audio messages are reaching from one end of the world to the other in an instant. Naturally, the question arises as to who is giving the responsibility of Awami League. This question is everywhere now. The activists also want to organize the party.
According to media sources, the last audio message Hasina is saying - who will be responsible? Whoever gives it will be arrested. Political pundits say that Hasina cannot trust anyone in the party. He will try till the last day to choose someone in the family.
It has been two months since Sheikh Hasina stayed in Delhi. Her younger sister Rehana is with her. Daughter Saima Wazed Puthul is in Delhi due to work. Sometimes he also meets. Indian security officials are meeting him. Doing school counseling. There are many rumors about this. On the other hand, Awami League leaders and activists located in different parts of India are in regular contact with Hasina. Urging to organize the party. A former minister was assigned the task of organizing the party at Docksite, unannounced.
In this organizational crisis, former President Abdul Hamid Awami League Acting President and Narayanganj City Corporation's former Mayor Dr. Selina Hayat Ivy is going to lead the party with the responsibility of Acting General Secretary. However, some top leaders of the party have claimed such rumors as propaganda.
Several members of the Awami League's hidden presidium and editorial board told the mass media that when the time comes to give acting leadership to the needs of the party, the responsibility will be given from among the elected central leadership. There is no precedent in Awami League of giving acting duties to someone from outside the elected leadership.
