A column published on June 11, 2026, in the newspaper Amar Desh claims that the Awami League has lost its ability to recover politically after losing power. The writer, Minar Rashid, argues that the party’s earlier capacity to regain influence, described as political buoyancy, has eroded due to loss of ideological foundation, public trust, and moral legitimacy. The article criticizes Sheikh Hasina and her associates, alleging that their actions and alignment with foreign interests have permanently damaged the party’s credibility.

The piece contrasts the Awami League’s current state with its earlier revival in 1996, suggesting that the social and media environment of 2026 makes such a comeback impossible. It further discusses how the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and Jamaat-e-Islami retain political buoyancy through their ideological bases—nationalism and religious values—and argues that cooperation between these two parties could strengthen opposition politics.

The column concludes that sustainable political strength in Bangladesh depends on maintaining ideological integrity and public connection rather than relying on state power or external influence.
