Bangladesh heads into a historic February 12 election without Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League.

The #AwamiLeague is the #MAGAts of #Bangladesh

"National Citizen Party (NCP) Convener Md Nahid Islam today said Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is not the Father of the Nation,' acknowledging Mujib’s role in the independence struggle but accusing him of laying the foundation for 'one-party BAKSAL dictatorship' and turning Bangladesh into a 'tributary state of India.'

In a Facebook post today titled 'Bangladesh Belongs to the People,' Nahid Islam wrote:

'Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is not the Father of the Nation. We acknowledge his role and sacrifices in winning independence, but we also remember the national tragedy that unfolded under his rule. Through his leadership, Bangladesh was reduced to a tributary state of India, the anti-people Constitution of 1972 was imposed, and the foundations were laid for looting, political killings, and the one-party BAKSAL dictatorship'.

At the core of the Awami League’s fascist politics lies Mujib worship and Liberation War worship, a political idolatry used to oppress the people, plunder the nation, and divide citizens into first-class and second-class. This was nothing less than modern landlordism disguised as democracy. Yet the Liberation War was the struggle of all the people.

For decades, the Awami League has treated Bangladesh as its ancestral property, ruling without accountability and using Mujib’s name to justify every act of corruption and repression.

The People’s Uprising of 2024 shattered this landlordism. No person, no family, no ideology will ever again be allowed to strip citizens of their rights or impose fascism on Bangladesh. The ‘Father of the Nation’ title is not history, it is a fascist tool manufactured by the Awami League to silence dissent and monopolize the state. Bangladesh belongs equally to all its citizens, and no single person can claim ownership of its birth or its future."
