Dr. Kamal Hossain has stated that Sheikh Hasina is solely responsible for the fate of the Awami League. He accused her of sidelining dedicated and tested party leaders, humiliating them, and establishing a system of nepotism within the party. “In the Awami League, her word was the law. She considered herself a queen and the people as her subjects. She could not tolerate dissent,” Dr. Kamal said. According to him, this intolerance led to her fleeing “like a thief.” Notably, Kamal Hossain and Latif Siddiqui had previously faced Hasina’s wrath.
