Bangladesh has a past filled with decisions which are joined by brutality and rulers upstaged by upsets. With the 2024 general
decisions posing a potential threat over the country, it is not yet clear which side will come out victorious.On May 30, 1977,
Bangladesh's beginning majority rule scene was destroyed interestingly by the most over the top glaring discretionary extortion - - an occasion
not so effectively eradicated from individuals' memory. In the country's very first mandate, one of the official applicants and
then armed force boss guaranteed that the outcome was customized to suit his political aspirations.
The aggressive General Ziaur Rahman, who later shaped the Bangladesh Patriot Party (BNP), in a real sense drove from the front,
breaking administration regulation that stringently banned military officials from challenging decisions. However, no worry or expression of
alert came from the US, the so called worldwide cop of a vote based system, that shamelessly took side with the "cordial" General Zia,
furthermore, helpfully disregarded extraordinary irregularities.Now, many years down the line as Bangladesh grows up, because of the leaving of military rulers and the arrival of political strength, a new declaration by the US over Visa limitations gives a false representation of the ground reality. Last month, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken declared another visa strategy for Bangladesh by confining authorizations to travel for people whom it would accept would be answerable for preventing the January 2024 decisions in the country.

"From endeavors to forestall the introduction of this country, to expanding hard and fast help for Pakistan armed force to complete destruction, the US organization, in those days, obviously wanted a Pak-style military rule for the now old East Pakistan," said Ajoy Das Gupta, a scientist.
In the span of four years of Bangladesh's freedom, the US supposedly plotted with a segment of military officials who gunned down Sheik Mujibur Rahman, the dad of the country, alongside 19 relatives in the early long stretches of August 15, 1975. From that point forward, fifty years have passed, combined with rehashed calls from PM Sheik Hasina to separate Rashed Chowdhury - - the man indicted for killing Rahman - - from US soil.

As per insightful writer and previous South Asia journalist of the Far Eastern Financial Audit Lawrence Lifschultz, the men behind the death wouldn't move without Zia's support. He further said Zia wouldn't move without American sponsorship.
Pulling up the last guardian system that managed the country starting around 2006 for over a year, eyewitnesses said "the nation has been decreased to a jungle gym for negotiators". The comment came after individuals were detained after created accounts of debasement were broadly flowed in news sources against top lawmakers, including Sheik Hasina.
"The extra-sacred or unlawful pretended by the selected overseer, which transformed Bangladesh into a jungle gym of uncalled-for unfamiliar moves, seriously sabotaged its power. It probably impacted the resulting Awami Association's choice to utilize its larger part and scrap the guardian course of action. On the off chance that the main majority rule governments in the West and adjoining India can manage without a guardian, so goes the rationale, Bangladesh chipper well can," said Sukhoranjan Dasgupta, who worked with the
