International Desk Report:
Delhi’s severe air pollution has disrupted normal life. Due to the difficult breathing conditions, the local administration has advised residents not to go out of their homes. In this situation, former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is said to be in extreme health risk during her stay in Delhi.
It has now become almost impossible for Sheikh Hasina, who took refuge in Delhi from Bangladesh’s Ganabhaban for security reasons, to go out. She is suffering from breathing problems due to the dense pollution. Even her going out, going out in public or appearing on any social media has been almost banned.
Even though those with whom she had political disputes once are now around Hasina, no one has forgotten to take advantage. Standing in court, Hasina said, “Those who have done wrong against me will never join the Awami League again.”
Another piece of bad news has come in such a complex situation. A recent UN report has made serious allegations of human rights violations during Sheikh Hasina’s rule. Last year’s suppression of student movements, violence and repression of the opposition have been criticized internationally.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, said that the violent suppression of the opposition and human rights violations have created a dire situation for Bangladesh. An earlier UN report published on February 12 also said that the repressive policies of Sheikh Hasina’s government have seriously damaged the human rights situation in the country.
According to analysts, these international reports have dealt a major blow to Sheikh Hasina’s political career. At the same time, there is uncertainty about the possibility of her return to the country and her political future.
Delhi’s toxic air is a health risk and international pressure on both sides
