Thursday’s dawn brought Bangladesh to the polls for 299 parliamentary seats, but Awami League shattered the veneer, calling it a ‘mockery’ and pleading with the world to rescue the fracturing state from doom. Their manifesto indicts a multifaceted assault on moderation.
Not content with benching Awami League, plotters shun all anti-extremist liberals. Voters by the million, wedded to the party’s ethos, reel under assassination scares, state terror, and coercion—puppeteered into ballots that spike sham turnouts.
Horror permeates: lynch mobs and torture squads rule. Jails host Awami League legions plus caged reporters, campaigners against atrocities, and rights warriors on phony killing raps. Minorities neared annihilation pre-vote, doxxed as partisans for open-season violence; women, key to the vote, dread disenfranchisement in policy spheres amid democratic pretense.
Irrefutable clips show contestants flouting rules, scripting victories. Yunus’s crew faced withering critique for referendum profligacy—state coffers drained for fixed verdicts, dodging democratic trust. The secular gutting via this illegal poll aims to vaporize the martyrs’ constitution, etched in the blood of those who seized freedom from Pakistan’s yoke.
A clarion call to global monitors: unmask the electoral perversions authentically. Blind faith in Yunus’s bluster invites chronic chaos; 17 months expose hollow oaths, morphing Bangladesh into bigots’ bolt-hole and instability’s epicenter.
As votes cast and counts loom, Awami League’s exposé spotlights a crossroads. Heed the instability tocsin, or witness a key Asian democracy disintegrate under manipulated malice.
