Former Awami League MP AKM Bahauddin Bahar’s recent virtual speech has reignited political tension in Cumilla following the fall of the Awami League government. Despite being in exile, Bahar’s influence allegedly continues through local networks, including some BNP leaders reportedly managing his business interests. His remarks criticizing BNP and Jamaat leaders have coincided with renewed street activity by the banned Chhatra League, which attempted a rally near Cumilla Sadar South on Sunday. Locals dispersed the gathering and handed 48 participants over to police.
Local sources claim that Bahar’s associates and several former Awami League figures still control parts of Cumilla’s contracting and development sectors. Police confirmed arrests and ongoing operations against those involved in the banned organization’s activities. Meanwhile, BNP leaders have questioned law enforcement’s effectiveness in preventing such rallies.
Separately, the Cumilla District Qawmi Madrasa Organization condemned Bahar’s alleged anti-madrasa comments and demanded his trial for sedition. At a press conference, religious leaders said his remarks insulted the country’s madrasa education system and violated constitutional rights to religious freedom.
