@politics @ml @emselimahmed in the recently concluded general elections, a major political party was banned from contesting, and then the elections were conducted. Bangladesh was born because of the blood that was given by this political party. Yet it was banned from seeking the opinion of the people.
What sort of a #democracy is #Bangladesh ??🤔🤔🤔

I understand what you’re saying, but I don’t think the situation is that simple.
The party you’re referring to did play a role during the independence period, no one really denies that. But over the past 17 years, there have also been many serious allegations against them, including authoritarian behavior, enforced disappearances, killings, corruption, and financial scandals.Because of this, we now see many of their top leaders leaving the country. If they truly believed they were innocent, it would have made more sense for them to stay and fight their cases through the legal system. Even the party’s main leader could have chosen to face the law at home instead of staying abroad.
So in my view, it’s not just about saying they were “not allowed to participate” in the election. There’s a bigger context behind it that also needs to be considered.
At the end of the day, one question remains - how can someone accused of serious crimes represent the people?
Questioning democracy is important, of course, but it’s only fair to look at the full picture before drawing conclusions.
#Bangladesh #Bangla @bangla@em @politics @ml @emselimahmed @bangla #india got independence. #pakistan was created as a result of #partition1947 . It was a process in #history , and the result is that #humanity was divided.
@em @politics @ml @emselimahmed @bangla there’s a slight difference between independence and liberation. Independence was what had happened in 1947, while #Bangladesh was liberated in 1971.
What l meant to say is simply that in a democratic setup, particularly in a multiparty system, a party shouldn’t have been banned. You stated your opinion. Now, don’t you think others ought to have had a fair chance to state their opinion regarding the party in question ??
Moreover, the leader whom you’re referring to is a guest in our country. That’s not the point !! There are enough loyalists living in your country who were eager to represent the party in the election, but were not allowed to.
