Bangladesh's Information Advisor Claims Over 1 Lakh Awami League Members Fled To India

In today's episode of India Global, Bangladesh interim government's Information Advisor Mahfuj Alam on Tuesday claimed that more than one lakh members of ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina's Awami League have fled to India. Criticising Hasina, Mahfuj said she used enforced disappearances and killings as a means of avenging her parents' assassination. He accused the Awami League of operating as a "mafia group" and vowed that the party would never be allowed to regain political footing in Bangladesh. He also claimed Hasina is still hatching conspiracies against the country staying in India, which is very unfortunate. NDTV's Gaurie Dwivedi speaks with Press Minister at Bangladesh High Commission Faisal Mahmud to discuss this and more.
