On Tuesday, Bangladesh's interim government Information Advisor, Mahfuj Alam, claimed that over one lakh members of the exiled Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League have escaped to India, as per the media reports. “The highest number of enforced disappearances occurred in 2013 and 2014 when people were fighting for their voting rights. According to the adviser, the government has addressed enforced disappearances by establishing a commission to probe into these cases. We have learnt that nearly 100,000 Awami League members have taken refuge there,” he was quoted. Meanwhile, Hasina’s Awami League has been missing from Bangladesh’s political landscape.
