Members and workers of Awami League are worried of possible attacks on their lives by Bangladesh protesters after Sheikh Hasina fled Dhaka. Sheikha Hasina’s surprise decision of resigning from the prime ministerial post, quickly fleeing Bangladesh and taking shelter in India for now has not just left leaders and workers of her Awami League party headless but also in fear and anxiety. It is to recall that India has a history of offering asylum to the leaders of Awami League from the days of unrest during the build up to the 1971 Bangladesh’s war of liberation from Pakistan under the leadership of Hasina’s father and first PM of the country Sheikh Majibur Rahman. Awami League members want to enter India through land routes On Monday after the political uncertainty following Hasina’s resignation, movement on the India-Bangladesh border was restricted.
