Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina controls the Chhatra League

The claim that "Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina controls the Chhatra League" is supported by multiple sources indicating a close relationship between Sheikh Hasina and the Chhatra League, the student wing of her political party, the Awami League. According to The Diplomat, the Chhatra League has significant influence at the University of Dhaka, often using intimidation tactics to maintain control, and its leaders are appointed by the Prime Minister. The Economist and Al Jazeera also report that the Chhatra League acts as an enforcer for the government, particularly during protests, further indicating a direct line of control from the Prime Minister. Human Rights Watch also notes that the Chhatra League, backed by police, has been involved in violent crackdowns on student protests, reinforcing the notion of control and influence by Sheikh Hasina (HRW). These sources collectively suggest that the Chhatra League operates under the influence and direction of Sheikh Hasina, supporting the claim of her control over the organization.
