The 'quota reform movement' started last July. Due to this, Sheikh Hasina was forced to resign from the post of Prime Minister on August 5 and leave for Bangladesh. After that, the interim government was formed in Bangladesh headed by Muhammad Yunus. The Awami League also claimed that the government is trying to erase the history of Bangladesh's independence and liberation war and the 'father of the nation' Bangabandhu Mujibur Rahman.
Awami League leaders and workers are also alleged to be persecuted after Hasina left the country, as were religious minorities. Thus it is stated that they cannot be terminated. The statement said, “Anyone who thinks that Awami League will be destroyed by tyranny, torture, then he is living in a fool's paradise.”
It is also mentioned that Awami League is related with the birth of Bangladesh. Awami League is sure that it will return to its glory as the traditional party of the country and will take forward the unfinished work of development of the country.
Under what circumstances and why Hasina had to leave the country has also been informed in the statement. In an event in America, Yunus said that Bangladesh student movement took place after long planning. Yunus also said who was the 'mastermind' behind it. The Awami League claims that the conspiracy to seize power has now become clear.
It has also been informed that the Awami League will fight to protect the independence of Bangladesh. Attempting to fly another country's flag there would 'necessarily lead to another war'. Awami League also said that it will be a 'war to protect freedom'.
Awami League has also condemned the violence that is being done in the name of religion in Bangladesh. The Awami League also appreciated the way the Sanatan religious people stood united in protest after the attacks on temples and houses. The statement also claimed that Yunus has to take the responsibility for the anarchy that is going on in Bangladesh.
