Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday extended Eid-ul-Adha greetings to citizens, while expressing concern over what she described as widespread suffering and political instability in the country. In a statement shared through the Awami League on social media, she said the festival has arrived during a period of “profound crisis and hardship” for the people of Bangladesh.
Hasina stated that the country has been facing prolonged distress, alleging that leaders and workers of the Awami League have been subjected to attacks, legal cases, and imprisonment over the past several months. She also claimed that ordinary citizens are enduring growing difficulties, reflecting what she described as a deepening national crisis affecting multiple sections of society.

She pointed to incidents of insecurity, economic strain, and public safety challenges, arguing that these developments have contributed to a sense of uncertainty across the country.
