Interim Govt In Bangladesh Locks National Identity Cards Of Former PM Hasina, Nine Others
DHAKA: The Election Commission (EC) of Bangladesh has "locked" the National Identity Cards (NID) of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her nine family members. The National Identity Registration Wing under the EC took action against the 10 individuals following an internal directive, local media reported on Monday. The relevant officials of the EC said generally, NIDs are "locked" if any person registers as a voter with false information or due to any investigation against the NID holder. The decision to lock the NID cards of 10 members was taken based on a verbal instruction from ASM Humayn Kabir, Director General of the National Identity Registration Wing, reported Bangladeshi media outlet UNB quoting Election Commission sources. Reports suggest that it is still not clear whether there was a direct order from the Election Commission Secretariat. "If the NID is locked, the card can no longer be used. In addition, if a voter provides false information or an investigation is underway regarding the NID, it is locked until it is completed. Most of the time, the NID is locked at the request of VVIPs, so that no one can misuse it. It is unlocked again at their request," BDnews 24 quoted NID Wing's System Manager Mohammad Ashraf Hossain as saying. Meanwhile, Bangladesh has requested Interpol to issue a 'Red Notice' against former PM Hasina and 11 others in connection with a case alleging conspiracy to overthrow the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government. "These applications are filed in connection with allegations that emerge during investigations or through ongoing case proceedings," Assistant Inspector General (Media) Enamul Haque Sagor told leading Bangladeshi daily, The Dhaka Tribune. The 'Red Notice', once issued, would enable law enforcement agencies globally to locate and provisionally detain the accused individuals pending extradition or other legal actions. Daughter of Bangladesh's founder Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Hasina fled Bangladesh on August 5 last year following a massive student-led movement that resulted in the collapse of her 16-year rule under the Awami League. While addressing the Awami League supporters virtually in February, the ousted Prime Minister of Bangladesh accused the Yunus-led interim government of turning the nation into an alleged hub of "terrorism" and "lawlessness".
