Sheikh Hasina

Reports from various parts of the country show the Awami League's significant success in securing parliamentary seats.

Regarding the opposition, Hasina remarked that the BNP is a party formed by a military dictator who seized state power, branding them as a party of terrorists with no belief in elections.

With no sign of political compromise in sight, Bangladesh’s January elections will likely do little to repair its deep political divisions, he said.

In her role as Prime Minister since 2009, following a prior term from 1996 to 2001, Hasina has received acclaim for effectively addressing the challenges posed by resurgent Islamist groups and a once meddlesome military, as noted by Time.

Wazed was seen putting up regular updates on social media X on the G20 summit from New Delhi.

The prime minister made the remarks on Saturday when inaugurating the 60th convention of the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB) in Dhaka, Xinhua news agency reported. "There is now a tendency to impose sanctions, and sanctions on those by whom we contain terrorism. We have made a decision. I have said that I will not buy anything from those who will impose sanctions," said the prime minister.

"Allah gives us lives, and He has the supreme authority to give lives and take lives, killing is against the Quran," she said, adding that those who believe in Islam genuinely must have tolerance towards other religions. "In Bangladesh, all religions have the same rights, people will perform their respective religious rituals, Allah will judge everything (on the Doomsday). He does not give that right to any human, all have to remember that," she said.

"Our drive against militancy, terrorism, drugs and corruption will continue. All of you must remain cautious regarding this matter," she said, and also requested the parents to remain alert so that their children do not get drawn to drugs and militancy. Hasina said this while addressing a public rally at TT High School ground at Bhangar Haat in Gopalganj.
