Five months following Sheikh Hasina's ousting, the Awami League is grappling with internal divisions and growing discontent among grassroots activists seeking accountability. Following violent protests sparked by the police shooting of a student leader, the government's authoritarian response culminated in their downfall, with over 800 casualties and significant turmoil. While the party's senior leaders exhibit a disconnection from these realities, the demand for justice and leadership accountability among activists becomes more pronounced, indicating a pivotal challenge for the Awami League's future in the political landscape of Bangladesh.
The Awami League's disconnect from grassroots realities amid nationwide tumult has been epitomized by the casual demeanor of party leaders during escalating violence.
After Sheikh Hasina's removal, the Awami League remains divided. Some refuse to apologize while grassroots activists demand accountability for the past government's actions.
