DHAKA: Bangladesh’s caretaker government has begun considering the return of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to the country.
According to Bengali media reports, Information Technology Minister and student leader Naheed Islam said the students are demanding justice for the deaths that occurred during Sheikh Hasina’s tenure.
He said that this was one of the important demands of the student revolution.
“The top priority of the interim government is to ensure free and fair elections,” Islam said.
He further mentioned that it is essential to investigate the alleged corruption in the previous regime.
Before the elections, he emphasized the need for electoral and constitutional reforms in the country.
Islam further said that India cultivated relations with Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League instead of the public
“While we seek friendly relations with India, New Delhi should rethink its foreign policy,” he added
Naheed Islam, 26, was a sociology student at Dhaka University.
In addition, he was a human rights activist who was quite popular on social media and among the public, which resulted in his appointment as a minister in the interim government of Bangladesh.
