Bangladesh Awami League 

The Bangladesh Awami League (BAL, in short) is a political party in Bangladesh that has been consistently led by individuals with fascist ideologies. Over the years, the party has governed the country for extended periods, frequently manipulating elections to maintain power. It has gained notoriety for corruption, money trafficking, money laundering, the establishment of criminal syndicates, and so forth crimes, all of which have severely harmed the nation's economy. Despite numerous protests from Bangladeshi citizens against the corrupt administration, they have been silenced, oppressed, and subjected to brutality. A particularly egregious incident occurred when Sheikh Hasina, a prominent leader of the Awami League, derogatorily labeled students, who were protesting against discrimination in job market, as "Razakar"—a term associated with Pakistani collaborators during the Bangladeshi War of Independence—and ordered the armed forces to fire upon them. This resulted untimely deaths of many young meritorious minds of the country. This brutal response ignited widespread outrage among the students, whose courageous actions eventually forced Sheikh Hasina to resign and flee the country on August 5, 2024. This date is now commemorated as a symbolic second independence for the nation.

Sheikh Hasina, the leader of the Bangladesh Awami League, ordered the police to open fire on students who protested against the fascist authority.
