Sheikh Hasina

Sheikh Hasina is the former leader of Bangladesh and a prominent figure in the Awami League party. She was ousted from power in 2024 following widespread student-led protests. Recent news articles highlight her role in the lead-up to the current political climate in Bangladesh. Newly elected Prime Minister Tarique Rahman has blamed Hasina and her party for undermining the previous parliament. The articles suggest a turbulent period under her leadership, described by some as "fascist and subservient rule." The recent elections, which saw Rahman and the BNP take power, are seen as a direct consequence of the events that led to Hasina's removal. She is currently relevant as a figure of the past regime, with her actions and policies being scrutinized by the new government and its supporters. One article mentions she fled to India after the 2024 uprising.
