Sheikh Hasina, Mujib ur Rahman’s daughter, was notably anti-Pakistan, a stance that PTI capitalized on. PTI supporters have drawn parallels between Imran Khan and Sheikh Mujib ur Rahman, who founded Mukti Bahini with RAW’s assistance in West Pakistan, suggesting a just cause. Imran Khan’s tweet translates to:
Every Pakistani should study the Hamoodur Rahman Commission report and find out who the real traitor was: General Yahya Khan or Sheikh Mujib ur Rahman. — May 27 this year, PTI’s leader instructed to tweet this from jail
Essentially, the current public unrest is not solely directed at Hasina Wajid’s administration but also at the events of 1971 and the perceived deceit by Mujib ur Rahman and his family’s dynastic rule. The Bengali people have demonstrated a revolutionary spirit against all forms of oppression, whether from external forces or internal sources. It will be intriguing to see how the Bangladeshi military navigates the country’s future. India will be eager to protect its decades of political investment in Bangladesh.
In the wake of Hasina’s fall, the interim government faces the challenge of navigating a period of instability. Student groups who led the protests have expressed rejection of military rule, further complicating the situation. This scenario highlights the intersection of historical legacies, strategic retaliation, and the ongoing struggle for political dominance in Bangladesh.
