Bangladesh Islami Chhatra Shibir’s central president, Zahidul Islam, has warned political activists not to emulate former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, urging them instead to learn from what he described as her downfall. Speaking at a representative meeting organized by the Bhola municipal branch of Islami Chhatra Shibir on November 17, he called for building a political culture free from fascism and violence. Zahidul Islam alleged that Hasina and the Awami League were responsible for widespread killings and political repression, citing incidents from 2006 as examples of violent politics. He also expressed hope that the interim government would bring Hasina back to Bangladesh through Interpol to face trial for alleged crimes. The event was chaired by Bhola city Shibir president Abdullah Al Amin and attended by Bhola district Jamaat-e-Islami leader Zakir Hossain and others.
