फांसी के फंदे से संसद तक… भारत विरोधी आतंक के आरोपी दो उम्मीदवार बांग्लादेश चुनाव में जीते – Bangladesh New Government Tarique Rahman Cabinet BNP Jamaat Party NTC mnrd
The recent elections have shown a turning point in the politics of Bangladesh which has raised many questions. On one hand, the picture of a big victory emerged in the election, while on the other hand, the return of three leaders who had once been sentenced to death surprised everyone. Now the same leaders are preparing to sit in Parliament. Is this just the result of the legal process or an indication of the changed direction of politics? This question is at the center of the discussion.
Two of the three, both members of the BNP, were facing death sentence for supplying arms to anti-India rebels and conspiring to carry out blasts in India. Third, the Jamaat-e-Islami candidate was accused of war crimes. All of them were released by the courts during the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus.
Of these, two leaders are associated with the nationalist party and one leader is with the Islamic party. Lutfozzaman Babar has previously been the Minister of State for Home. He was convicted and sentenced to death in the 2004 Dhaka grenade attack. Many people were killed and hundreds were injured in this attack. Apart from this, he was also punished in arms smuggling case. But after the change of power, the court acquitted him and he won the election shortly after his release from jail.
Similarly, the case of Abdus Salam Pintu is also there. He has also been a minister before. He was also convicted in the same grenade attack and given death sentence. He was also accused of supporting an organization linked to several attacks in India. Later the court acquitted him of all charges. Now he is reaching Parliament after winning the elections with a huge majority. This raises the question whether allegations of the past no longer matter in politics.
The third leader is ATM Azharul Islam. He was accused of large-scale killings and atrocities against women during the 1971 war. He was also sentenced to death. But the Supreme Court later acquitted him. Now he is also reaching Parliament after winning the elections.

The return of these three shows that after the change of power bangladesh How has politics changed? Those leaders whose future was once thought to be over are now becoming the representatives elected by the public’s vote. This has intensified the debate whether this is a victory for the justice process or a new equation of politics. These questions will decide the direction of Bangladesh politics in the times to come.
