If she is determined, she should come now. Now is only August. September, October, November&#8230; why delay for three months more? She should come now. <!-- -->Then, the Bangladeshi people and Bangladeshi system will face her. Bangladeshi system and Bangladeshi judiciary, Bangladesh administration, and Bangladeshi people&#8217;s opinion will decide whether she will be welcomed or whether she will go to jail,&#8221; Alal said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>His remarks came after Hasina, in her first virtual press briefing since being ousted during the student-led uprising in August 2024, announced that she planned to return to Bangladesh in December despite the possible consequences.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>&#8220;Whatever fate awaits me, I will return to my people. I cannot stay away while my beloved countrymen are suffering&#8230; I want to go back in December,&#8221; she said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Hasina said she was prepared to face arrest, imprisonment or even threats to her life upon returning to Bangladesh.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>Last December, Bangladesh&#8217;s International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) sentenced Hasina and former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal to death in a case related to crimes against humanity during the July-August 2024 unrest. <!-- -->Former police chief Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun, who testified as a state witness, was sentenced to five years in prison. Following the verdict, Dhaka urged India to hand over both convicted individuals without delay.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>Alal also criticised remarks made by Hasina&#8217;s son, Sajeeb Wazed, who said Bangladesh had become &#8220;another Pakistan on India&#8217;s eastern front.&#8221; He described the statement as offensive and an interference in Bangladesh&#8217;s sovereignty.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>&#8220;Even the son of Sheikh Hasina said that the Eastern wing of India now became Pakistan&#8211;which he means Bangladesh. This is very much offensive and anti-state activity. So, we condemned it seriously,&#8221; he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>Earlier on Wednesday, Wazed had said that &#8220;Bangladesh has become another Pakistan on India&#8217;s eastern front&#8221; and raised concerns over the role of foreign intelligence agencies in Bangladesh.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>He also questioned the death toll reported during the July-August 2024 protests, pointing to differences between figures released by the United Nations and those cited by the interim administration led by then-chief adviser Muhammad Yunus.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/>Alal further said Bangladesh had changed politically since August 5, 2024, and stressed that the country was now on a different path.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/>&#8220;Bangladesh is not like the 5th of August of 2024 before Bangladesh. This Bangladesh is a new Bangladesh, a democratic Bangladesh, a people&#8217;s representative-guided Bangladesh,&#8221; he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"38\"\/>He also asserted that Bangladesh would pursue an independent foreign policy and would not tolerate interference in its domestic affairs.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/world\/south-asia\/why-by-december-she-should-come-now-bangladesh-pm-tarique-rahmans-aide-challenges-sheikh-hasina\/articleshow\/132992609.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rahman&#8217;s aide challenges Hasina A day after former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, in a virtual press conference, announced that she would return to the country in December despite the risk of arrest or imprisonment.
