Foreign powers out to change party leadership, Sajeeb Wazed Joy tells BBC Bangla<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n“This illegitimate occupying force serves external powers, aiming to hand Bangladesh over to foreign interests and diminish the glory of our independence,” the statement thunders, drawing a direct line from the genocidal atrocities of 1971\u2014three million martyrs slain, 250,000 mothers and sisters brutalised\u2014to today’s “killer-fascist” encroachments. The July-August 2024 upheaval, orchestrated by domestic and foreign foes, is framed not as a popular uprising but as a meticulously plotted coup to resurrect Pakistani ideology and communal poison in the veins of a secular republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet, amid the shadows, the Awami League kindles the unquenchable flame of resistance. Invoking the unbroken chain of Bengali valour\u2014from the Language Movement’s defiant cries to the Six-Point thunder, the 1969 Mass Uprising’s fury, and the nine-month inferno of 1971\u2014the party pledges an inexorable resurgence under Sheikh Hasina, the unyielding torchbearer of Bangabandhu’s vision. “The Bengali nation has never been defeated and has never bowed down,” it proclaims. “In that same spirit… we shall once again rise stronger and free our beloved motherland from illegal occupiers and all anti-Liberation War forces, Insha\u2019Allah.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The call to arms is unequivocal: Unite under the martyrs’ ideals, Bangabandhu’s philosophy, and the Liberation War’s indomitable ethos. Pro-liberation patriots, Awami League cadres, and every soul scorched by the Yunus regime’s depredations are urged to forge a bulwark against this “jihadist-army-backed syndicate”\u2014a nod to whispers of Islamist extremists and military shadows lurking in the interim power structure. The goal? A resurgent Bangladesh: happy, prosperous, democratic, and non-communal, untainted by the occupiers’ treason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following successful programme like shutdown and lockdown amid Sheikh Hasina\u2019s international interviews, the party activists and supporters are considering her directions a manifesto for national redemption. As Victory Month unfolds\u2014culminating in the joyous surrender of December 16\u2014the League’s words hang like a gauntlet thrown: Will the sons and daughters of 1971 heed the summons and hurl the Yunus interlopers back into oblivion, reclaiming the freedom that was seized, not bestowed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the words of the statement’s crescendo: “Let us free the country from illegal occupation and together build… Sonar Bangla is inspired by the spirit of the Liberation War.” The battle lines are drawn; the victory echoes await.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
