Come back to Bangladesh, don't create any fuss: Sakhawat to Hasina
Home Affairs Adviser Brigadier General (retd) M Sakhawat Hussain has called on the recently ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina to return to Bangladesh.
"You [Hasina] went voluntarily. You should come back to your country again. But don't create any uproar. It will make people angrier," he said, addressing Hasina.
He was speaking to reporters after a meeting with leaders of the Bangladesh Jatiya Hindu Mohajote at the Secretariat today.

Sakhawat also said, "After the fall of Jatiyo Party leader Hussain Muhammad Ershad, he was told that if he wanted to go abroad, he could go or he could go to jail. He went to jail.
"You [Sheikh Hasina] should also come back. Do not push the country into anarchy. Rebuild your party with new faces."
In response to a question about banning Jamaat-e-Islami, he said, "We [the interim government] did not do it. If any instructions in this regard go from the Ministry of Home Affairs to the Ministry of Law, then they will decide."
The home affairs adviser said, "No political party should be banned. Such things are done to achieve political motives. But it is different if it is a militant organisation."
