The drumbeat of criticism against Hasina, led by the US-led West, has been active for quite some time. The popular refrain being accusing Bangladesh of becoming a one-party state and
democracy being suffocated. Domestic constituencies, many nurtured by the West and the Opposition parties, have rallied to this cause. Be that as it may, the US with its weaponising
sanctions and Visa regime against officers of the anti-terrorist force Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) and those who subvert the process of a free and fair election, has not succeeded in making
Hasina bend to its will. She is not a leader who takes kindly to such blatant pressure. The US Ambassador in Dhaka had become overactive meeting opposition party leaders, anti-AL NGOs, and
the Election Commission, attracting criticism of interfering in the internal affairs of a sovereign nation.
