In Bangladesh The Memory Of The Brutal 1971 Liberation War Lingers In Election
  • 5 years ago

According to a report by Reuters, Bangladesh's premier and ruling party leaders have attacked the opposition in the bitter campaign for Sunday's general election, relying on references to the country's 1971 war for independence from Pakistan. Reuters reports that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's Awami League party has run a campaign on reminding the public of “war criminals”, “fake freedom fighters” and “collaborators," and has looked to paint the entire opposition as an 'anti-liberation' front.
