Sheikh Hasina to Return to Bangladesh by Year-End
Sheikh Hasina to Return to Bangladesh by Year-End; Ultimatum Issued to President Mohammed Shahabuddin to Resign by August
Dhaka, July 23: A major political upheaval has once again shaken Bangladesh. Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has announced her intention to return to her homeland by the end of this year. This announcement has left the Tarique Rahman government completely rattled.
Following Hasina's announcement of her return, the Tarique Rahman government has accelerated moves to remove President Mohammed Shahabuddin from office. Sources indicate that an ultimatum has been issued to the President, requiring him to resign voluntarily by August.
Reason Behind the Move to Remove the President
President Mohammed Shahabuddin was elected in 2023 during Sheikh Hasina's tenure and is considered a loyal supporter of hers. The Tarique Rahman government fears that if Hasina returns, the President could use his constitutional powers to grant her legal protection.
According to the newspaper *Desh Bandhu*, instead of outright dismissal, the government is pressuring the President to resign citing health grounds; he is currently unwell, having recently undergone heart surgery in London.
Over 600 Cases Against Hasina
Sheikh Hasina had to seek refuge in Delhi following the violent protests of August 2024. Currently, she faces over 600 criminal charges in Bangladesh and has been sentenced to death in 10 cases. Despite this, the 79-year-old Hasina has announced her return, emphatically declaring, "My struggle will not stop."
This announcement is likely to completely alter the political landscape in Bangladesh. All eyes are now on the decision President Shahabuddin will take.
