Many leaders faded away after leaving Awami League: Hasina

Many leaders have disappeared from the scene of politics after leaving the Awami League, said party president Sheikh Hasina on Sunday.

"Despite repeated attacks, the Awami League could not be destroyed. Like a phoenix, it has risen again due to the strength of the common people, grassroots workers, and soldiers who never bow their heads," Hasina said during a discussion marking the party's 75th anniversary on Sunday.

She acknowledged that many leaders had made mistakes and left the party at different times. “Those who left did not understand their errors. By quitting, they have disappeared from the political scene. Yes, many have returned, and we have accepted them. However, there are still many involved in movements to overthrow the government,” she added.

The party's General Secretary Obaidul Quader, among others, attended the discussion.
