• tajuddin ahmed was supposed to serve as the PM after BD became liberated. well, he didn’t let that happen lmao
• formed the “rokkhi bahini”, which was like his own personal army and used it to crush any form of dissent. an example is the murder of shiraj shikdar, who was a prominent leftist revolutionary over here; essentially defangling the east bengals’ proletariat party.
• tried dissolving every single political parties at the time to form BAKSAL and have it be the only allowed political party.
• banned several newspapers to only allow his selected few newspapers

…all this while saying that he wanted to form a democratic country during the liberation war lmao

there’s a reason why under his daughter’s rule, you couldn’t read newspapers from his rule. but truth always has a way to get out into the world.
