She is the biggest oppressors alive without any doubt. not only she killed thousands of innocents but she is also killing the democracy of Bangladesh which was earned by millions of lives. Funny thing is she is claiming to be the saviour of democracy by shooting innocents on street, taking away the right to vote, the right to protest, right to give free opinion, and so on. The so called constitution that she is always on about which was amended according to her own desire and Hasina claims she is only following the constitution.
