It's hard to forget

In most underdeveloped or developing countries, conditions are not good, and there is not much positive to say about the president. Additionally, most presidents in those countries use their position for their own benefit. People mostly complain about presidents, and I think that's very natural. However, some presidents do something significant that people remember. That significance can be good or bad.

I am from Bangladesh, which is a developing country. When it comes to great leaders, there were a few in the past who showed leadership even in difficult positions. I love those leaders, but they were before my birth. After my birth, I have seen a few people hold the position of president, and none of them did anything good enough to be remembered. But I think I have seen the worst president in my life. I am talking about Sheikh Hasina, also known as dictator Hasina.

After taking the presidency, she killed many army officers who opposed her, and she did it so well and perfectly that most people didn't even realize it was a planned murder. It was just the beginning of her plan.

She started changing laws according to her wishes, but slowly. She kept people busy with life struggles as the prices of all necessary goods reached unreasonably extreme levels. Most people were so busy struggling that they had no time to think about the country or other things. So people chose to adapt to the situation slowly, even in extreme conditions. She even tried to destroy the education system long-term. Maybe she didn't want people to be well-educated so they wouldn't know their rights. I don't know, but I guess that was her motive.

A strong opposition is very important in a democratic country, but after she came to power, many opposition leaders vanished over time, and people never found any trace of them. She tortured those leaders many times and killed them brutally according to her wishes. In a matter of time, the opposition party became spineless, and there was no opponent against her. Later, almost all parliamentary seats were taken by her own people, and she didn't allow others to take seats. She played dirty games during elections and naturally won for the fourth time consecutively.

Corruption was not new in my country, but it became very common, and people could take bribes openly as if it were additional income. But by the end of her era, it had reached extreme levels.

Regarding justice, I think it exists only for rich people. Unless one has money, there is no justice. And in political cases, it favored her party. It was as if anyone from her party could do anything illegal with no consequences. It was indeed very bad—even rapists and criminals could walk in broad daylight as if they had done nothing. Naturally, criminal activities increased.

No one could say anything against her party, and if anyone dared to, they were either threatened or killed. People became afraid and chose to be quiet and blind, even when something wrong happened. Everyone loves their life, and there is nothing to blame people for.

At the end, because of the quota reform protest, she killed more than a thousand students unofficially. She was a psycho, and after killing so many students, the quota reform protest turned into a movement to remove Sheikh Hasina from power. She tried her best to protect her position, but students and people combined forced her to run away. Now she is hiding in India like a coward.

I think no leader can be worse than her, and I never wish to see any president like her.
