Former PM Barred from Leaving the Country

By Adnan Karim

ADVERTISEMENTS

A Dhaka court yesterday barred the former Prime Minister and Awami League President Sheikh Hasina from leaving the country. This comes as no surprise since two extortion cases have been filed against her by two businessmen who are known to have been closely associated with her party. The party secretary Abdul Jalil has been under custody for some time now and according to several newspapers, has confessed to many of the wrongdoings of his party which ultimately can be traced back to Sheikh Hasina.

During the beginning of the anti-corruption drive, it was widely speculated that two chiefs of the biggest parties would be forced to leave the country, as happened in Pakistan when General Musharraf took over. An attempt was taken to stop Sheikh Hasina from returning to Bangladesh couple of months back but she was eventually allowed to come back from USA and UK. It is now believed by the people in general that both the party chiefs would face trial or even be forced from within their respective parties to retire from politics .
