AL's real power not people of Bangladesh but India

In a fervent critique of the ruling Awami League (AL), BNP's Senior Joint Secretary General, Ruhul Kabir Rizvi charged the government with sacrificing the nation's independence and dignity in exchange for support from the Indian government.
Rizvi made the allegations during a press briefing at the BNP's central office in Nayapaltan on Wednesday, reports UNB.
Rizvi claimed that AL does not seek the mandate of the Bangladeshi people, instead "clinging to power through the backing of the Modi government and entering into bonds of subjugation."
He further accused the AL of perceiving Bangladesh as a "dummy state," alleging that the real power behind the AL is not the people of Bangladesh but India. By supporting the Awami League, India is exercising control over Bangladesh, infringing upon the rights of its citizens," Rizvi added.
