The All-European Awami League (AL) has condemned the cases filed against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, reports UNB.
The body said the cases filed against Sheikh Hasina are false.
In a joint statement, signed by M Nazrul Islam and Mojibur Rahman, president and general secretary of the European AL respectively, said, "False cases are being filed one after another against Sheikh Hasina, who was leading Bangladesh towards prosperity following the ideals of her father. The oppressive forces in power are using their allies to file these baseless lawsuits."
The EU Awami League shared the statement on its verified Facebook on Monday.
In the statement they said, "While Sheikh Hasina was guiding Bangladesh on the path of prosperity, the Pakistan-supported extremist groups such as Jamaat-e-Islami, Shibir and BNP were engaged in violence across the country ....."
They (perpetrators) caused massive damage to government and private property, including the Parliament House, Ganabhaban, the Prime Minister's Office, Metro Rail, Elevated Express, and BTV, aiming to destabilise the country and topple the elected government, alleged the statement.
The statement also condemned the burning of the historic 32 Dhanmondi residence of Bangabandhu.
