A covert office of Bangladesh’s Awami League has allegedly been established in a busy commercial complex in Kolkata, India. The office, operating under high secrecy, has no visible party insignia, photographs of Sheikh Hasina or Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, or identifying signs. Since Sheikh Hasina left Bangladesh in August 2024, exiled AL leaders and activists in India have been conducting low-key meetings. While small gatherings of 30–35 people occur in the hidden office, larger meetings are held in rented banquet halls or restaurants. Party insiders say the discretion is deliberate to avoid detection and maintain operations under the radar.
